Rep. Thompson Proposes $500 Million Annual Investment in National Bike Infrastructure and Tax Breaks

Rep. Mike Thompson introduced the America Bikes Act to provide $500 million every year for new bike paths and trails. This plan aims to connect neighborhoods to schools and jobs while offering tax incentives for domestic bike production. This follows earlier efforts to restore tax-free benefits for bike commuting in the House and a matching Senate proposal that includes e-bikes and bike-sharing programs. Other lawmakers are focusing on safety for younger students. The Kids on the Go Act would increase federal support for state projects that build safer sidewalks and bike lanes near schools. Together, these bills seek to make cycling a more affordable and safer transportation option for workers and families across the country.
