Why This Matters
The Bike the Border Act aims to make it easier for people to cross the border on bicycles or by walking. This is important for promoting non-motorized travel and improving access at the Gordie Howe International Bridge.
If you bike or walk across the border, this bill could make your crossing faster and easier.
