AI Summary
This bill directs the Secretary of Transportation to establish a National Greenways Program that provides competitive grants to eligible organizations, such as local or regional governments, to improve or construct regionally or nationally significant greenway paths. The greenway paths must cross multiple jurisdictions, reduce congestion and emissions, and support community goals. The bill sets aside funding for planning grants and administration, and specifies the federal cost share for projects, with higher shares for disadvantaged and rural communities. The bill also requires the Secretary to submit interim and final reports to Congress on the grants made and best practices.
