DOT cranks up its campaign to strip bike lane references from federal websites

The Department of Transportation has been quietly scrubbing references to bike lanes from federal websites, sparking concern among safety advocates who argue this move undermines effective strategies for reducing traffic accidents. By removing these references, the DOT may inadvertently downplay the benefits of bike lanes, which studies show can significantly cut down on collisions. This shift in policy highlights a larger debate about the importance of sustainable transportation options and could have broader implications for urban planning and public safety initiatives.
