Bill > HB06711

This bill requires the Commissioner of Transportation to dedicate staffing and funding to support Complete Streets projects, which are a strategy to design and operate roadways that are safe for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and transit riders of all ages and abilities. The bill references Section 11206 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (a federal law passed in 2021) and directs the Commissioner to provide grants and incentives to municipalities to help them complete Complete Streets projects or develop prioritization plans. The goal is to improve community health and safety by creating transportation infrastructure that considers the needs of all road users, not just motor vehicles, which can help reduce traffic accidents, encourage physical activity, and make transportation more equitable and accessible for people who walk, bike, or use public transit.
