Sarah Debbink Langenkamp Active Transportation Safety Act
This bill increases federal funding for projects improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists. It allows states and localities using federal highway funds to fully cover (100%) the costs of specific projects, such as connecting existing bike/pedestrian paths or reducing risks to vulnerable road users, if they use "Proven Safety Countermeasures" for cyclists/pedestrians as defined by the Federal Highway Administration. Projects must align with state safety plans or local safety plans like Complete Streets or Vision Zero plans. The bill directly affects states and local governments managing transportation infrastructure funded through federal highway programs.
