GovInfo lists S.2004 as introduced by Begich for himself and Schatz; it was referred to Environment and Public Works and aimed at safety for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users, children, older individuals, and people with disabilities.

Schatz took concrete action on Safe Streets legislation before the 2016 promise, but this bill was only introduced and referred, not enacted as a standalone law.

The IIJA authorized TIFIA credit assistance at $250 million for each fiscal year 2022-2026 and preserved transit-oriented development eligibility for public infrastructure near transit or passenger rail facilities.

During Schatz's 2017-2023 term, Congress funded TIFIA and continued eligibility for transit-oriented development-related infrastructure, directly matching the TIFIA/TOD part of the promise.
