Bill > S1913

This bill, the Stopping Threats On Pedestrians Act of 2019 or the STOP Act of 2019, directs the Department of Transportation to establish a competitive grant program to provide assistance to local government entities for bollard installation projects. These projects involve installing raised concrete or metal posts on sidewalks adjacent to roadways to slow or stop motor vehicles, with the goal of preventing pedestrian injuries and acts of terrorism in areas with high pedestrian traffic. The bill defines the key terms "bollard installation project" and "Secretary" (of Transportation), outlines the application process for the grants, specifies that grant funds can only be used for bollard installation projects, allows for up to 100% federal funding, and authorizes $5 million in appropriations per fiscal year from 2020 to 2029 for the Secretary to carry out the program.
