A NEW FEDERAL BILL TO MAKE OUR STREETS SAFER
A handful of leaders in the U.S. House and Senate introduced a bill that would finally require states and metro areas to design and build safer streets for everyone, but it will need strong and vocal support from across the country to become law.
Support this long-awaited federal Complete Streets bill—tell your senators and representative to co-sponsor the Complete Streets Act of 2019.
The Complete Streets Act of 2019 would require states to set aside money for Complete Streets projects, create a statewide program to award the money (and provide technical support), and adopt design standards that support safer, complete streets. It was introduced today by Sen. Edward Markey and Rep. Steve Cohen, and co-sponsored by Senators Blumenthal (CT) and Schatz (HI), and Reps. Espaillat (NY) and Gallego (AZ).
