**Mandatory 5% set-aside for pedestrian safety** would require states to spend 5 percent of the federal highway funds they receive under 23 U.S.C. 104(b)(3) on projects that aim to reduce injuries and fatalities at high‑risk pedestrian crossings.

States must ensure an amount equal to 5 percent of their section 104(b)(3) apportionment is expended for this purpose each fiscal year starting in 2027.
