BIKE Act of 2024

This bill, the BIKE Act of 2024, directs federal funding toward school-based bicycle safety education for elementary and secondary students. It amends existing law to require grant funds for on-bicycle education programs and mandates the Secretary of Transportation to revise safety guidelines within one year. The revised guidelines must specifically encourage skills training, roadway navigation, traffic rule awareness, safety precautions, and helmet use for students. These updated materials will be shared with state education agencies, and the Secretary must report to Congress within three years on implementation efforts and outcomes. The bill directly affects public school systems by integrating structured bike safety education into curricula.
