Bill to Expand Bike and Pedestrian Infrastructure

What This Bill Does

This bill would create programs to improve bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure and encourage more people to use bicycles for transit. It is aimed at making streets safer and more usable for riders and walkers while supporting transportation options beyond driving.

For ordinary Americans, this could mean safer bike lanes, better sidewalks, and more practical options for short trips, commuting, and access to transit. It may also help reduce traffic congestion and support healthier, lower-cost travel choices in communities that invest in these improvements.

Who This Bill Affects

For the general public, this could improve local transportation safety and convenience, especially for people who bike, walk, or use transit. Communities that receive funding could see better infrastructure and more travel options, while drivers may experience modest changes from redesigned streets and transit connections.
