- Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy vowed to end support for 'DEI bike lanes,' leading to the removal of bike-related safety materials from the FHWA website.
- FHWA staff were asked to find and take down references to bikes and bike lanes, including proven safety tools like the Pedestrian and Bicycle Crash Analysis Tool (PBCAT).
- Safety advocates criticize the removal, noting that bike lanes and other measures have been shown to improve road safety and reduce fatalities.
- More than 36,000 people died on U.S. roads in 2025, including over 6,700 pedestrians and bicyclists.
- Internal FHWA emails reveal an 'urgent' request to strip bike lane and speed-related safety countermeasures from the website, though no official criteria for review have been provided.
