Program Overview:

The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA- LU), passed by Congress in 2005, provides new provisions and expands previous legislation that support bicycle and pedestrian programming, planning and funding. The new provisions provide increased opportunities to enhance pedestrian and bicycle safety and mobility, and create more complete transportation systems that foster healthier, more livable communities. Many creative approaches are underway across the nation, involving both transportation professionals and non-traditional partners such as health professionals, educators and advocates. The purpose of this live, three-hour broadcast was to highlight the key provisions and administrative efforts underway to implement the new law.
