More walking and biking on public lands

If enacted, this bill would require the Secretary of Transportation to set aside at least 5% of the combined funds for the Federal lands transportation and Federal lands access programs each fiscal year for "active transportation." Active transportation would include building, planning, and design of on-road and off-road trails, sidewalks, bike lanes, pedestrian and bicycle signals, traffic calming, lighting, and projects to meet the Americans with Disabilities Act. It would also fund planning and infrastructure that create safe routes for non-drivers — such as children, older adults, and people with disabilities — to reach public sites. Converting abandoned railroad corridors into trails would also be eligible. The change would begin upon enactment and apply each fiscal year to funds authorized under those programs.
