Plain Language Summary
# Summary of HR 7751 - Greenway Paths Grant Program **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would establish a federal grant program through the Department of Transportation to fund the construction and improvement of greenway paths. Greenway paths are typically pedestrian and bicycle trails that connect communities, parks, and other destinations. The bill directs the Transportation Secretary to manage this program, though specific details about funding amounts, eligibility requirements, or project selection criteria aren't included in the available summary. **Who It Affects:** The bill would primarily benefit communities and local governments seeking to build or upgrade walking and biking infrastructure. It could affect urban and rural areas alike by providing federal funding for transportation projects that may otherwise lack local resources.
The general public would potentially benefit from improved access to safe pedestrian and bicycle routes. **Current Status:** HR 7751 is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House. The bill was introduced by Representative LaMonica McIver (D-NJ-10) in the 119th Congress. Additional details about specific funding levels, implementation timeline, and other provisions would typically be available in the full bill text.
