Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety Improvement Act of 2020
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 116th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety Improvement Act of 2020
This bill directs the Department of Transportation (DOT), every two years, to conduct nationwide on-the-ground road safety assessments focused on pedestrian and bicycle safety in each state.
The purpose of the assessments is to
- identify and examine specific locations with documented or perceived problems with pedestrian and bicycle safety and access,
- examine barriers to providing safe pedestrian and bicycle access to transportation infrastructure, and
- develop and issue recommendations designed to effectively address specific safety and access issues and enhance pedestrian and bicycle safety in high-risk areas.
DOT must maintain a national pedestrian and bicycle safety database that includes (1) a list of high-risk intersections, roads, and highways with a documented history of pedestrian or bicycle accidents or fatalities and details regarding those incidents; and (2) information on corrective measures that have been implemented at the state, local, or federal level to enhance pedestrian and bicyclist safety at those high-risk areas, including details on the nature and date of corrective action.
