The Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill (formerly known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework) is moving fast — and so far it looks pretty good for people who bike and walk.
Is it perfect? No. While it is a great step forward that will build safer, more accessible communities — and while we celebrate the wins for bicycling and walking — we can take action today to make the bill better.
Join us and the League in contacting your Senators in support of amendments to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill that will mitigate some of the bill’s shortcomings.
We’re asking the Senate to support amendments that would:
- Bring back key parts of the Bicycle Commuter Benefit (Brown 2236)
- Require states to set road safety goals that actually reflect better safety outcomes (Klobuchar 2301)
- Increase funding for the Reconnecting Communities Program to reverse harm caused to Black and brown communities by highway construction (Warnock/Cardin 2167)
- Require states to fix and maintain roads before building new ones (Kaine 2143)
- Collect data on greenhouse gas emissions from transportation (Cardin 2465)
