Green Streets: Less Emissions, Better Public Transport

This act aims to reduce vehicle emissions by promoting public transportation, bike lanes, and sidewalks. It introduces new road planning rules, requiring cities and states to consider environmental impact and public transit accessibility. Citizens can expect better non-car travel options and cleaner air.
Key points
New road planning rules: cities and states must consider reducing emissions and improving road resilience to climate change.
Support for public and active transport: promoting investments in sidewalks, bike lanes, and public transit to reduce vehicle miles traveled.
Penalties for states: if a state fails to meet emission reduction targets, it will be required to allocate more funds to eco-friendly transport projects.
Improved public transit accessibility: introducing standards and measurements for access to jobs, healthcare, and stores via public transportation.
