The promise was to support increased federal funding for active transportation in the surface transportation reauthorization process, not necessarily to secure final enactment. The strongest evidence shows Garamendi joined a congressional delegation urging the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee to prioritize and strengthen federal funding for trails, pedestrian routes, and bicycle connections, which is direct support for the promised policy within the relevant federal bill context. Additional evidence that he was securing wins in the BUILD America 250 Act reinforces that he was actively engaged in the reauthorization vehicle during his current term. Because the available record shows clear affirmative support but not necessarily final passage, this is best judged as delivered on a support-based promise in the same term.
