The stated priority of Secretary Duffy’s Department of Transportation is safety, to keep all traveling Americans safe. Millions of Americans use bike lanes to commute to work, to drop off their kids at school, or to pick up groceries. Projects that build bike lanes are common sense investments in safety for everyone in the community. To keep that promise of safer roads to Americans, the Department of Transportation must ensure federal funding for local projects – including bike lanes – continues without pause. Halting work on these safety projects will only hurt communities. I implore Secretary Sean Duffy and the U.S. Department of Transportation to ensure there is no interruption in the funding to communities’ projects that will make their roads and streets safer and better for everyone.
