Bike the Border Act

Sponsored By: Representative Thanedar, Shri [D-MI-13]

In Committee

Summary

Expediting non-motorized crossings at the Gordie Howe International Bridge is the bill's main goal. This bill would require U.S. Customs and Border Protection to take necessary steps within one year to actively facilitate and expedite non-motorized crossings, with a specific focus on bicycle and pedestrian traffic. It would also require the Comptroller General to deliver a Government Accountability Office report to Congress within 18 months that reviews CBP's progress, determines whether crossings were expedited, and recommends operational changes or incentives to encourage bike and foot traffic. The measure does not provide new funding or create new authorities beyond these facilitation and reporting duties.
