An act relating to the development and construction of a bicycle path that runs adjacent U.S. Route 5

H 460 designates U.S. Route 5 (from Massachusetts to Quebec) as a bicycle corridor and requires Vermont's Agency of Transportation to create a steering committee. This committee must develop a coordinated plan for building bicycle paths along the route, addressing tourism, safety, funding, and phased construction while collaborating with municipalities, tourism groups, conservation organizations, and neighboring states. The bill directly affects communities along U.S. Route 5, tourism businesses, and active transportation users by prioritizing safe infrastructure development. Key provisions mandate the committee to evaluate tourism benefits, coordinate with existing trails, and identify funding sources for the bicycle path projects.
