Bike the Border Act

HR 6649, the Bike the Border Act, directs U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to take necessary actions to expedite bicycle and pedestrian border crossings at the Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor. The bill directly affects travelers using non-motorized transportation at this specific border crossing point. Key provisions require CBP to actively facilitate these crossings and mandate a GAO report within two years of the bridge's public operation, reviewing CBP's progress and providing recommendations for improvement and potential incentives to increase non-motorized traffic. The bill focuses on operational changes for CBP at this bridge, not broader policy shifts.
