Congress.gov lists H.R.2011 as sponsored by Rep. Jamie Raskin, introduced March 10, 2025, referred to the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the Highways and Transit Subcommittee, with tracker status still Introduced rather than passed or law.

The bill text would add eligible Highway Safety Improvement Program projects connecting bicyclist or pedestrian infrastructure and reducing risks to vulnerable road users. It would allow up to 100 percent federal share for certain projects and permit section 148 funds to count toward non-federal share when a local government or planning organization identifies high-risk vulnerable-road-user needs.

The official bill text matches the promise's substance: expanding eligible federal safety funding and easing matching requirements for local roadway safety projects benefiting bicyclists and pedestrians.
