62,000+ infrastructure projects funded across the US thanks to the BIL. If Congress doesn’t act to extend critical transportation funding, we all pay the price. Sen. Cantwell & Senate Democrats are sounding the alarm about more congestion & less safety. commerce.senate.gov/press/de…

Joined my colleagues in protesting the Trump Administration’s plans to destroy D.C.’s 15th street bike lane. It was a big win yesterday when a judge ruled that the Administration cannot proceed with their plans to destroy the beautiful route that over a million cyclist use yearly.

Riding in for the Rally to Save America’s Bike Lane 🚲 This isn’t just a commute—it’s about safer streets, better access, and making sure bike lanes stay protected for everyone who uses them. Show up, speak up, and ride with us.

#BikeLanesSaveLives! I was proud to vote NO on the so-called Make DC Safe and Beautiful Act, which will remove the city's main bike lane on 15th Street.
Republicans passed the bill along party lines in the House, but I'm urging all of my colleagues in the Senate to VOTE NO!
Deploying the National Guard to stand around in DC wasn't enough—Trump wants to undercut DC's ability to keep guns off the streets.
As a representative of another major city, I'm urging my colleagues to vote NO on the so-called Make the District Safe and Beautiful Act. I'm also encouraging everyone to speak up about Trump's plans to remove the 15th Street bike lane—which protects bikers, drivers, and pedestrians alike🚲️ 🚘️

My fear is that ordinary Americans are not experiencing the firing of an experienced, non-partisan, leader of a statistical agency as the major earthquake for the United States that it is.

First, Trump illegally tried to fire the 3 Democratic commissioners from the Consumer Product Safety Commission — now, their official accounts have been deleted.
What happened to freedom of speech? What happened to transparency?
Silencing public servants who fight to keep you safe from dangerous products sets a chilling precedent. We should all be asking: What are they trying to hide?
They deleted my X account for speaking out against the illegal firings and for telling the truth about what’s happening inside of government. If they can censor me, they can censor you too. Follow @RichTrumkaJr on X and @Trumkacpsc everywhere else.

Coral reefs are a crucial part of the marine ecosystem, providing habitats for all sorts of marine life and protecting coastlines from storm damage.
But scientists say rising ocean temperatures are posing a grave threat to the future of the world’s reefs.

Today I learned that the net annual economic value to Michigan residents of all biking activities is more than *$20.5 billion.*

We need your help. Reports indicate federal funding for bike lanes & other important transportation projects may be frozen soon. These projects save lives. If funding is frozen, projects already approved for federal funding may never break ground to transform dangerous streets.

The terrible Republican CR restricts DC's ability to use its OWN money — putting local schools, public safety and more on the chopping block.
I'm bringing a bill to the floor immediately to reverse that disastrous provision.

Reports indicate federal funding for bike lanes may soon be frozen. As the grassroots advocacy organization for safer, better biking, we know these cuts will make our roads less safe for everyone.
ALT League of American Bicyclists’ Statement on DOT Freeze of Discretionary Grants and Cooperative Agreements Halting work on these safety projects will only hurt communities. Whether bike lanes for commuters or making kids’ routes to school safer, these federal funds are common sense investments in safety for everyone in the community. These grants aren’t ideological, they are based on the local priorities for safer streets. In Arkansas, this will put an end to nearly $176 million dollars in economic investments in road safety. In Mississippi, there are $115 million dollars in the balance. People in these communities want these projects, and the states applied for these grants to better serve their citizens. The administration should enable these states and communities to do the work to make their roads and streets safer and better for everyone.

Today is the 156th anniversary of the first Detroiter to ride a bicycle - the "irrepressible" Ben Fletcher. Our application to install a historic marker for this on W. Jefferson has been approved. Will start fundraising for it once the location is secured.
