AI Summary
This bill, the Sarah Debbink Langenkamp Active Transportation Safety Act, amends the Highway Safety Improvement Program under Title 23 of the United States Code. The key provisions include:
1. Expanding the eligible projects under the Highway Safety Improvement Program to include the connection of existing bicyclist or pedestrian infrastructure, and the reduction of safety risks to vulnerable road users (such as pedestrians and cyclists).
2. Allowing certain projects or strategies that are part of a program to improve safety for vulnerable road users to be treated as consistent with a state's strategic highway safety plan, even if the plan does not explicitly include an emphasis area related to vulnerable road users.
3. Increasing the federal share of the cost of highway safety improvement projects that connect existing bicyclist or pedestrian infrastructure or reduce safety risks to vulnerable road users, allowing the federal share to be up to 100% in some cases.
4. Allowing the increased federal share of up to 100% to apply to projects that include proven safety countermeasures for bicyclists or pedestrians, as determined by the Federal Highway Administration.
The overall goal of the bill is to improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and other vulnerable road users by enhancing the Highway Safety Improvement Program to better support projects and strategies that address their safety needs.
