S.____
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
DATE
Mr. Andy Chiu introduced the following bill; which was read once and referred to the Committee on _______.
A Bill

SECTION 1. To authorize funds and build for Federal highways, highway safety programs, and transit programs, and for other purposes.
SECTION 2. People should be riding bikes more than driving cars since it spares the air and helps the economy. On December 4, 2015, President Obama signed a five-year transportation bill that funds for federal transportation related spending until 2020. He made a law called “F.A.S.T. Act” which stands for (Fixing America’s Surface Transportation) and what is does is help protect bicyclists, build new paths, and street bike lanes. Under the FAST Act, local governments are permitted to choose design guidelines different than those mandated by the state, allowing municipalities to be more progressive if they choose. The FAST Act also allows nonprofit organizations to apply directly for funds, which will make it easier for them to conduct safety and education for safe routes to school programs and run bike share programs.

Some governments would have more school signs since some cities have more school than others. Most roads today are damaged and cracked from natural disasters so it would probably be better if the roads get fixed so bikers can ride on a smooth surface. This will be providing new safety tools, and establishing new programs to advance critical freight projects. Basically, FAST Act is a down-payment for building a 21st century transportation
