HB 57 (Alaska’s Bike Bill) was passed by the House Transportation Committee on Tuesday, March 29, and now moves to the House Finance Committee, according to a story from the Associated Press.
The bill is sponsored by Rep. Paul Seaton (R-Homer) and co-sponsored by Rep. Max Gruenberg (D-Anchorage). Once passed by the Legislature and signed by the governor, the bill “creates the Safe Bicycle Ridership grant program for municipalities and non-profits, which will provide increased access to bikes so Alaskans have a choice of transportation modes during an unstable economy with high fuel costs,” Rep. Seaton wrote in his sponsor’s statement. We had more information about the bill last month.
