``(1) In general.--To carry out active transportation, the
Secretary shall for each fiscal year combine and use not less
than 5 percent of the funds authorized for programs under
sections 203 and 204.
``(2) Active transportation defined.--In this subsection,
the term `active transportation' means any of the following
projects or activities:
``(A) Construction, planning, and design of on-road
and off-road trail facilities for pedestrians,
bicyclists, and other nonmotorized forms of
transportation, including sidewalks, bicycle
infrastructure, pedestrian and bicycle signals, traffic
calming techniques, lighting and other safety-related
infrastructure, and transportation projects to achieve
compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of
1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.).
``(B) Construction planning, and design of
infrastructure-related projects and systems that will
provide safe routes for non-drivers, including
children, older adults, and individuals with
disabilities, to access public accommodations and
points of interest.
``(C) Conversion and use of abandoned railroad
corridors for trails for pedestrians, bicyclists, or
other nonmotorized transportation users.''.
SEC. 7. ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Nearly half of the trips taken in the United States are
within a 20-minute bicycle ride, and nearly a quarter of such
trips are within a 20-minute walk.
(2) Approximately 90 percent of public transportation trips
are accessible by walking or bicycling.
(3) Communities that invest in active transportation
infrastructure experience significant increases in bicycling
and walking rates over time, and such investments are in strong
demand because they lead to a higher quality of life, better
health, a stronger economy, and increased mobility in
communities where investments are made.
(4) The communities that perform best in encouraging active
transportation create interconnected systems that make it
convenient and safe to travel on foot or by bicycle to
destinations on a routine basis.
(5) Achieving a mode shift to active transportation within
a community requires intensive, concentrated funding of active
transportation systems rather than discrete, piecemeal
projects.
(6) Increased use of active transportation reduces traffic
congestion, greenhouse gas emissions, vehicle miles traveled,
and rates of obesity and chronic disease associated with
physical inactivity.
(7) Given the contribution that active transportation makes
to national policy goals, and the opportunity active
transportation provides to accommodate short trips at the least
cost to the public and individuals, funding of active
transportation is one of the most strategic and cost effective
Federal transportation investments available.
(8) The Federal Government is uniquely qualified to
facilitate interstate connections necessary to build long
distance active transportation spines and regional connections
in communities that span State boundaries.
(b) Active Transportation Infrastructure Investment Program.--
(1) In general.--The Secretary shall carry out an active
transportation infrastructure investment program to make
grants, on a competitive basis, to eligible organizations to
construct eligible projects to provide safe and connected
active transportation facilities in an active transportation
network or active transportation spine.

paragraph (1).
(3) Application considerations.--In making a grant for
construction of an active transportation network or active
transportation spine under this section, the Secretary shall
consider the following:

plan for an eligible project for the development of
walking and bicycling infrastructure that is likely to
provide substantial additional opportunities for
walking and bicycling, including effective plans to--
(i) create an active transportation network
connecting destinations within or between
communities, including schools, workplaces,
residences, businesses, recreation areas, and
other community areas, or create an active
transportation spine connecting two or more
communities, metropolitan regions, or States;
and
(ii) integrate active transportation
facilities with transit services, where
available, to improve access to public
transportation.
(B) Whether the eligible organization demonstrates
broad community support through--
(i) the use of public input in the

evidence of commitment to traffic safety, regulations,
financial incentives, or community design policies that
facilitate significant increases in walking and
bicycling.
(D) The extent to which the eligible organization
demonstrates commitment of State, local, or eligible
Federal matching funds, and land or in-kind
contributions, in addition to the local match required
under subsection (f)(1), unless the applicant qualifies
for an exception under subsection (f)(2).
(E) The extent to which the eligible organization
demonstrates that the grant will address existing
disparities in bicyclist and pedestrian fatality rates
based on income level or provide access to jobs and
services for low-income communities.
(F) Whether the eligible organization demonstrates
how investment in active transportation will advance
safety for pedestrians and cyclists, accessibility to
jobs and key destinations, economic competitiveness,
environmental protection, and quality of life.
(4) Use of funds.--
(A) In general.--Of the amounts made available to
carry out this section and except as provided in
paragraph (2), the Secretary shall obligate--
(i) not less than 30 percent to eligible
projects that construct active transportation
networks that connect people with public

projects that construct active transportation
spines.
(B) Planning and design grants.--Each fiscal year,

served by such project, the Secretary may increase the
Federal share of a grant under this section up to 100
percent of the total project cost.
(7) Contract authority.--Funds made available to carry out
this section shall be available for obligation and administered
in the same manner as if such funds were apportioned under
