Carey's official House release says Carey and Sykes reintroduced bipartisan pedestrian-safety legislation on June 24, 2026, and states that the Save Our Pedestrians Act requires five percent of Highway Safety Improvement Program funding to be used for projects reducing injuries and deaths at high-risk pedestrian crossings.
Assessments
The promise was specifically to reintroduce the Save Our Pedestrians Act, not necessarily to enact it. The evidence shows Rep. Mike Carey introduced H.R. 9424, the Save Our Pedestrians Act of 2026, on June 24, 2026, with text matching the promised requirement that 5 percent of Highway Safety Improvement Program funding go toward projects reducing injuries and fatalities at high-risk pedestrian crossings. Because Carey personally reintroduced the matching bill while serving in the relevant federal office, this counts as delivered in the same term.
