Do you want a future that is better for biking?
|
|
| Last year, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg called traffic safety a “national crisis” and said the Biden Administration would release a National Roadway Safety Strategy by January 2022.
With only a few days left, the League is eagerly awaiting the administration’s strategy for safety. As president, Biden and his team can help us accelerate change on the ground.
The League wants to see a National Roadway Safety Strategy that prioritizes safety for the most vulnerable road users like people who bike, walk, and use wheelchairs.
We want a strategy that fixes existing streets by redesigning them for connectivity and slower speeds, while ensuring new roads are built as Complete Streets designed for all the different ways people get around — like biking!
We want a future that makes biking safer, easier, and more accessible for more people. |

Join the League in sharing our vision for a National Roadway Safety Strategy that includes:
- A Safe System Approach. That means putting safety at the center of all transportation projects to prevent crashes.
- No more silos. Multiple federal agencies impact traffic safety and a whole-of-government approach would recognize this and engage a team of agencies to implement a Safe System Approach.
- More than just congressionally approved funding. Together, advocates pushed Congress to fund a historic increase in funding for biking and walking, including a Safe Streets and Roads for All program. We are excited about the program, but we hope this strategy is larger than that.
Does this sound like the future of transportation you want for your community and our country? Join the League in sharing our vision for better biking with the Biden Administration. |
