``(1) In general.--To carry out active transportation, the 
Secretary shall for each fiscal year combine and use not less 
than 5 percent of the funds authorized for programs under 
sections 203 and 204.
``(2) Active transportation defined.--In this subsection, 
the term `active transportation' means any of the following 
projects or activities:
``(A) Construction, planning, and design of on-road 
and off-road trail facilities for pedestrians, 
bicyclists, and other nonmotorized forms of 
transportation, including sidewalks, bicycle 
infrastructure, pedestrian and bicycle signals, traffic 
calming techniques, lighting and other safety-related 
infrastructure, and transportation projects to achieve 
compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 
1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.).
``(B) Construction planning, and design of 
infrastructure-related projects and systems that will 
provide safe routes for non-drivers, including 
children, older adults, and individuals with 
disabilities, to access public accommodations and 
points of interest.
``(C) Conversion and use of abandoned railroad 
corridors for trails for pedestrians, bicyclists, or 
other nonmotorized transportation users.''.

SEC. 7. ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Nearly half of the trips taken in the United States are 
within a 20-minute bicycle ride, and nearly a quarter of such 
trips are within a 20-minute walk.
(2) Approximately 90 percent of public transportation trips 
are accessible by walking or bicycling.
(3) Communities that invest in active transportation 
infrastructure experience significant increases in bicycling 
and walking rates over time, and such investments are in strong 
demand because they lead to a higher quality of life, better 
health, a stronger economy, and increased mobility in 
communities where investments are made.
(4) The communities that perform best in encouraging active 
transportation create interconnected systems that make it 
convenient and safe to travel on foot or by bicycle to 
destinations on a routine basis.
(5) Achieving a mode shift to active transportation within 
a community requires intensive, concentrated funding of active 
transportation systems rather than discrete, piecemeal 
projects.
(6) Increased use of active transportation reduces traffic 
congestion, greenhouse gas emissions, vehicle miles traveled, 
and rates of obesity and chronic disease associated with 
physical inactivity.
(7) Given the contribution that active transportation makes 
to national policy goals, and the opportunity active 
transportation provides to accommodate short trips at the least 
cost to the public and individuals, funding of active 
transportation is one of the most strategic and cost effective 
Federal transportation investments available.
(8) The Federal Government is uniquely qualified to 
facilitate interstate connections necessary to build long 
distance active transportation spines and regional connections 
in communities that span State boundaries.
(b) Active Transportation Infrastructure Investment Program.--
(1) In general.--The Secretary shall carry out an active 
transportation infrastructure investment program to make 
grants, on a competitive basis, to eligible organizations to 
construct eligible projects to provide safe and connected 
active transportation facilities in an active transportation 
network or active transportation spine.
(2) Application.--
(A) In general.--To be eligible to receive a grant 
under this section, an eligible organization shall 
submit to the Secretary an application in such manner 
and containing such information as the Secretary may 
require.
(B) Eligible projects partially on federal land.--
With respect to an application for an eligible project 
that is located in part on Federal lands, an eligible 
organization shall enter into a cooperative agreement 
with the appropriate Federal agency with jurisdiction 
over such land to submit an application described in 
paragraph (1).
(3) Application considerations.--In making a grant for 
construction of an active transportation network or active 
transportation spine under this section, the Secretary shall 
consider the following:
(A) Whether the eligible organization submitted a 
plan for an eligible project for the development of 
walking and bicycling infrastructure that is likely to 
provide substantial additional opportunities for 
walking and bicycling, including effective plans to--
(i) create an active transportation network 
connecting destinations within or between 
communities, including schools, workplaces, 
residences, businesses, recreation areas, and 
other community areas, or create an active 
transportation spine connecting two or more 
communities, metropolitan regions, or States; 
and
(ii) integrate active transportation 
facilities with transit services, where 
available, to improve access to public 
transportation.
(B) Whether the eligible organization demonstrates 
broad community support through--
(i) the use of public input in the 
development of transportation plans; and
(ii) the commitment of community leaders to 
the success and timely implementation of an 
eligible project.
(C) Whether the eligible organization provides 
evidence of commitment to traffic safety, regulations, 
financial incentives, or community design policies that 
facilitate significant increases in walking and 
bicycling.
(D) The extent to which the eligible organization 
demonstrates commitment of State, local, or eligible 
Federal matching funds, and land or in-kind 
contributions, in addition to the local match required 
under subsection (f)(1), unless the applicant qualifies 
for an exception under subsection (f)(2).
(E) The extent to which the eligible organization 
demonstrates that the grant will address existing 
disparities in bicyclist and pedestrian fatality rates 
based on income level or provide access to jobs and 
services for low-income communities.
(F) Whether the eligible organization demonstrates 
how investment in active transportation will advance 
safety for pedestrians and cyclists, accessibility to 
jobs and key destinations, economic competitiveness, 
environmental protection, and quality of life.
(4) Use of funds.--
(A) In general.--Of the amounts made available to 
carry out this section and except as provided in 
paragraph (2), the Secretary shall obligate--
(i) not less than 30 percent to eligible

other community activity centers; and
(ii) not less than 30 percent to eligible 
projects that construct active transportation 
spines.
(B) Planning and design grants.--Each fiscal year, 
the Secretary shall set aside not less than $3,000,000

(2), the Federal share of a grant under this section 
shall not exceed 80 percent of the total project cost.
(B) Exception for disadvantaged communities.--For 
projects serving communities with a poverty rate of 
over 40 percent based on the majority of census tracts 
served by such project, the Secretary may increase the 
Federal share of a grant under this section up to 100 
percent of the total project cost.
(7) Contract authority.--Funds made available to carry out
