Summary
The Building Safer Streets Act amends federal highway and transit programs to require greater consideration of all transportation modes and road users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders. The bill requires the Secretary of Transportation to publish documentation explaining prohibitions in traffic control standards, directs the Federal Highway Administration to update regulations clarifying how states and localities must evaluate multimodal transportation, and establishes a process for federal funding applicants to document their consideration of pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure. The bill also mandates development of design exceptions for multimodal projects, guidance on connected networks accommodating all users, and joint guidelines between highway and transit agencies on bus stop placement and roadway design.
