Bicycles for Rural African Transport Act

This bill establishes a USAID program to provide affordable bicycles and related support to rural communities across sub-Saharan Africa. It directly affects rural residents - particularly in areas with limited transportation - by aiming to improve access to education, healthcare, and livelihood opportunities through bicycle-based mobility. Key provisions include authorizing $3 million in 2026, rising to $6 million annually from 2028 onward, for grants to nonprofits with proven experience in rural mobility projects. The program also requires USAID to report annually on bicycle distribution, project impacts, and lessons learned to Congress.
