Transportation Secretary Says New Lanes Should Not Be Funded – And Current Bike Lanes Destroyed
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has asked Congress to eliminate federal grants for bike safety infrastructure. He is asking legislators to "Prioritize Motor Vehicle Travel Over Bicycle Lanes."
The secretary believes that bike lanes are "DEI".
In addition to defunding new bike lanes, the transportation secretary also wants to remove existing lanes. He recently said:
“We urge Congress to restrict competitive and formula grant funding for bicycle lanes and other bicycle infrastructure that reduce travel throughput [sic] for motor vehicles and support removal of existing bike lanes that contribute to congestion.”
