Complete Streets Act of 2025
Introduced Jun 4, 2025 by Sen. Edward J. Markey
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill supports the development of safe and accessible roads through complete streets design and construction grants, policies, and design standards.
Under the bill, a complete street means a public road that provides safe and accessible travel options for multiple travel modes (e.g., walking, cycling, transit, mobility devices, automobiles, and freight) for people of all ages, abilities, and disabilities.
In general, each state must establish a competitive grant program that provides a portion of its federal highway funds to eligible entities for complete streets grants and technical assistance. Eligible entities include local and tribal governments, local agencies, metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), and nonprofit organizations.
An eligible entity must develop a complete streets policy and a prioritization plan. The state or an MPO must approve the policy and plan. The Department of Transportation (DOT) must develop complete streets benchmarks and guidance for states and eligible entities.
