Key Points

This bill allows states to use federal grant money to teach elementary and high school students how to ride bicycles safely. This includes hands-on training where students actually practice riding.
The Department of Transportation must update its safety guidelines to focus on teaching kids traffic rules and how to navigate roads. These new rules will also emphasize why wearing a helmet is important for staying safe.
The government will work with safety experts to create new lessons for schools. These materials will be shared with state education departments to help them start their own programs.
Within three years, officials must report back to Congress on how many states are using these programs and if they are working. This helps track whether the money is actually helping kids learn to ride safely.
