Key points
All states must create "Complete Streets" programs to make roads safe for pedestrians, cyclists, public transit users, and motorists.
New road projects and reconstructions will need to meet standards including dedicated bike lanes, sidewalks, and crosswalks compliant with accessibility guidelines.
Priority will be given to projects that improve safety in areas where non-motorized users are most vulnerable.
A portion of federal highway funds will be allocated to these programs, supporting local authorities in building safer infrastructure.
