Legislative Progress

Key Points
- This bill allows cities and states to use federal transportation money for bike and scooter sharing programs. Currently, these programs often rely on private money or local taxes to operate.
- The goal is to give people more ways to get around without using a car. This can help reduce traffic and lower pollution in busy areas by making it easier to take short trips on a bike or scooter.
- It specifically adds these projects to federal programs meant to improve local roads and reduce carbon emissions. This means more federal dollars could go toward building scooter docks or buying shared bikes.
- If passed, your local government could apply for federal grants to start or expand a bikeshare program in your neighborhood. This could make these services more available and affordable for everyday commuters.
