This bill amends section 405 of title 23, United States Code, to permit states to utilize federal grant funds for the specific purpose of providing on-bicycle education to elementary and secondary school students. This aims to enhance cycling safety and proficiency among young individuals by making financial resources available for educational programs. The legislation also mandates the Secretary of Transportation to revise the Highway Safety Program Guideline No. 14 on Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety within one year, encouraging comprehensive nonmotorized safety education for these students. These revised guidelines must emphasize practical bicycling skills, safe practices, and increased awareness for navigating roadways, along with adherence to traffic rules and general safety precautions. Crucially, the guidelines will also highlight the importance of helmet use for all cyclists. The Secretary is further directed to consult with education practitioners to update existing materials and curriculum, and to disseminate the new curriculum and guidelines to State educational agencies. Finally, a report to Congress is required within three years of enactment, detailing the implementation of these guidelines, the consultation efforts undertaken, and the strategies used for disseminating the guidance to State educational agencies. This report will also cover training efforts and promotion, including opportunities for states to share their implementation challenges and successes.
