What it does
The Bicycles for Rural African Transport Act would establish a USAID program to promote mobility in rural sub-Saharan Africa by providing affordable, fit-for-purpose bicycles to improve access to education, health care, and livelihood opportunities. The program would prioritize partnerships with experienced nongovernmental organizations and include support for local mechanics, spare parts access, stigma reduction, and community capacity building. It authorizes $3 million annually for FY2026–2027 and $6 million annually from FY2028 onward, with reporting requirements to Congress on past and ongoing projects.
