Highways - Sidewalks and Bicycle Pathways - Construction and Reconstruction (The Honorable Anne Healey Pedestrian Safety Act of 2026)

Summary

The bill directs Maryland’s State Highway Administration to give priority funding to sidewalks and bicycle pathways that are on or adjacent to highways covered by a Complete Streets or similar Vision Zero program. Local governments must request this funding in an annual priority letter, and the state and localities share construction costs according to the project's location and safety need. The measure aims to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety on urban highways.
