Complete Streets Act of 2025

This bill focuses on making roads safer and more accessible for everyone, including people who walk, bike, use wheelchairs, drive cars, or take public transit. It would require each state to set up a grant program using some of its federal highway money, allowing local governments, tribal governments, planning organizations, and nonprofits to apply for funds to redesign roads with features like protected bike lanes, sidewalks, crosswalks, and better lighting. The Department of Transportation would create new design standards that states and planning organizations must follow, and the Department of Justice would help update accessibility rules to cover things like cognitive ability and language access. To receive grants, local groups would need to create a plan and policy for making their roads work for all types of travelers, which would then need approval from the state or a regional planning organization.
