Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

Every five years, the League advocates for bigger and better federal investments towards building a Bicycle Friendly America for Everyone. In our advocacy, not only have we fought for larger investments in the programs that fund state and local efforts to build bike infrastructure, but also policies that ensure those funds are used to improve the safety of vulnerable road users, are spent equitably, and promote Complete Streets, a Safe System approach, and other frameworks for a transportation system that works for everyone.

Thanks to the strength of our numbers in membership and the voices of advocates like you, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill is good for people who bike. From the hundreds of people who have taken part in Lobby Day at the National Bike Summit to promote improvements to Transportation Alternatives, safety, Complete Streets and accessibility, to the tens of thousands who have contacted Congress with the League, thank you for standing up for safer roads and better bicycling.

In collaboration to shape the bill, the League and the Safe Routes Partnership worked closely together on improving the Transportation Alternatives Program and bicycle and pedestrian safety in the Highway Safety Improvement Program and are pleased to see meaningful investments and policy changes included.
