Bill overview
This bill, the Active Transportation for Public Lands Act, aims to increase funding for trails and other active transportation projects on federal and tribal lands. It requires the Department of Transportation to set aside at least 5% of specific transportation program funds for projects that benefit pedestrians, bicyclists, and other non-motorized users. These projects include building new trails, improving existing infrastructure, and repurposing abandoned rail lines for recreational use. The goal is to enhance access to public lands and promote healthier, more sustainable transportation options.
