| Sec. 1. Legislative declarations and findings. The
The |

declares
that since a third of the population |

children and adults for transportation, healthy |

| bikeways most
effectively with those of the State and local |
| 14 |
| governments as they affect
roads, streets, schools, parks, and |
| 15 |
| other publicly owned lands, lands not
owned by a municipality, |
| 16 |
| local unit of government, county, or the State of
Illinois or |
| 17 |
| one of its agencies or authorities by agreement, abandoned
|
| 18 |
| roadbeds and conservation areas, while maximizing the benefits |
| 19 |
| from the use
of tax dollars, a single State agency, eligible to |
| 20 |
| receive federal matching
funds, should be designated to |
| 21 |
| establish and maintain a State-wide bikeways
program.
