On the recordNovember 3, 2015
I do oppose this amendment. In this bill, we have created a competitive grant program for nonmotorized users. In this program, it stood up for the first time. We should let NHTSA stand this program up before we judge the success and before we award it more funding. This amendment would cut funding for critical safety programs that keep drunk drivers off our highways, encourage seat belt use, and improve State safety data programs. The funds would be reallocated in a new program created in this bill, as I mentioned, to focus on bike and pedestrian safety. I commend the gentleman for his passion and commitment to cyclists and their safety, but this is a new program that has been set up. So I would just urge that we should let NHTSA stand the program up and then judge its success and whether we should allocate more money or not. I oppose the amendment. I yield back the balance of my time.
