Complete Streets Act of 2025

# Complete Streets Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Does** The Complete Streets Act of 2025 would require that federally funded road projects be designed to safely accommodate all users—including pedestrians, cyclists, public transit riders, and people with disabilities—not just automobiles. When states and localities receive federal transportation funding, they would need to ensure their street designs meet safety and accessibility standards for everyone using those roads. **Who It Affects** This legislation would impact state and local governments that receive federal transportation dollars, as well as the general public. Pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, elderly people, and individuals with disabilities would be the primary beneficiaries, as the bill aims to make streets safer and more accessible for non-drivers. Road construction companies and transportation planners would also be affected by the new design requirements. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee (S 1953), meaning it has been introduced but has not yet advanced to a full Senate vote.

The legislation was sponsored by Senator Edward J. Markey (D-MA). No additional details about specific provisions are currently available in the basic bill information.
