US push to defund ‘DEI bike lanes’ will make roads less safe, advocates say
The Trump administration moved $1.73 billion that was set aside for bike lane improvements to other infrastructure projects. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the money was taken from “Biden-era DEI pet projects” and sent to roads, bridges, and shipping ports. He did not give details about which bike lane projects were affected. Advocates for cycling and pedestrian safety warn that cutting these funds will make roads less safe for non‑motorized travelers.
