Webinar – The Good, the Bad and the Unknown: What the House Reauthorization Bill Means for  Connected Trail and Active Transportation Systems

Earlier in May, the House Transportation and Infrastructure (T&I) Committee took the first step towards passing a new federal transportation law when it announced a bipartisan agreement entitled the BUILD America 250 Act – Building Unrivaled Infrastructure and Long-term Development for America’s 250th Act.

While the bill continues legacy active transportation programs, it fails to prioritize the infrastructure needed to make walking and biking connected, safe and more functional, primarily by repealing the Active Transportation Infrastructure Investment Program (ATIIP).

Join RTC to learn what was included, what was cut, and the actions needed to ensure funding and policy for connected walking, biking and trail infrastructure is prioritized in future iterations of the bill.
