In Committee
Summary
Boost federal support for pedestrian and bicycle safety and connectivity. The bill broadens the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) so states and local areas can fund bike and pedestrian linkages and targeted projects that reduce risk to vulnerable road users, and it makes federal cost sharing more flexible and generous for those projects.
Show full summary
- Pedestrians and cyclists: More projects qualify for HSIP funding, including connecting separate bike or walking segments and strategies aimed specifically at vulnerable road users. Safety plans such as Complete Streets, Vision Zero, and ADA transition plans now count toward eligibility.
- Local governments and regional planners: Local governments, metropolitan planning organizations, and regional transportation planning organizations can have projects credited toward non‑Federal matches if projects are in approved safety plans or address identified high‑risk areas. They can also pool projects or programs to meet match requirements.
- States and funding rules: States can use flexible financing options and treat certain funds as part of the non‑Federal share when conditions are met. Projects using Federal Highway Administration‑recognized Proven Safety Countermeasures may receive up to a 100 percent Federal share.

More federal funding for walking and biking
This bill would let more bike and walking projects use federal Highway Safety Improvement Program funds. It would add projects that connect two or more existing bike or sidewalk segments. It would also cover projects that reduce safety risks to vulnerable road users when those projects are listed in the required program of projects or strategies. The bill would let qualifying projects receive up to 100 percent federal funding, let states calculate the non‑Federal share across projects or programs, and allow section 148 funds to count toward a project's non‑Federal share when the project uses an FHWA‑determined Proven Safety Countermeasure, the State safety plan emphasizes vulnerable road users, or the project was listed or identified through the required planning and consultation process.
