Fair Share for Safety

While bicyclists and pedestrians are major users of our roads and sidewalks, states do little to protect their safety in the same way that they do for drivers. A Fair Share for Safety program would ensure that transportation systems spend federal money dedicated to safety programs to protect bicyclists and pedestrians as well as automobile users. 

A provision in the Senate transportation reauthorization bill S. 1072 will improve the safety of the most vulnerable of road users: those on foot, in wheelchairs and on bicycles. The House bill, H.R.3, does not include 'Fair Share' language.
