OCTOBER 2012 DELAWARE CANDIDATE SURVEY

Candidate: Ruth Briggs King

Running For: State Representative, District 37

1. I supported or agreed with "Walkable Bikeable Delaware" (Senate Concurrent Resolution #13), passed unanimously by the 146th Delaware General Assembly in May of 2011.

Response: Strongly Agree

2. I believe that increased use of 'active' modes of transportation (i.e. walking and bicycling) improves public health.

Response: Strongly Agree

3. I believe that investing in bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure saves people money by allowing them to spend a smaller percentage of their household budgets on transportation; and makes Delaware's economy less vulnerable to disruption from oil price shocks.

Response: Agree

4. I supported or agreed with the state authorization for "Bike and Pedestrian Improvements" in the FY2013 Bond Bill.

Response: Agree

5. As long as Transportation Trust Fund revenue is either stable or growing, I would support a state authorization for "Bike and Pedestrian Improvements" in the FY2014 Bond Bill at the same or greater level as in the FY2013 Bond Bill.

Response: Neither Agree or Disagree

Comments: [On statement 5] We face many challenges and I would have to see the entire picture before choosing one.
