Track bills, resolutions, and amendments moving through Congress
Designating November 30, 2025, as "Drive Safer Sunday".
Supporting the goals and ideals of a National Move Over Law Day.
The bill aims to make roads safer for emergency responders and motorists through a national awareness campaign, but it entails modest public costs and may increase traffic enforcement and citations for drivers.
Designating the week of September 14 through September 20, 2025, as "National Truck Driver Appreciation Week".
The resolution formally praises and elevates trucking’s essential role—potentially boosting support for workers, safety programs, supply chains, and national security—while carrying the risk that applause without policy changes may delay needed reforms, entrench road-dependent freight, and obscure specific safety problems.
Expressing support for the designation of May 2025 as "Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month".
The resolution raises awareness and could modestly improve motorcycle safety and reduce travel costs, but its symbolic, unfunded approach risks limited real-world safety gains and could be cited to reduce broader road-safety spending.
Sarah Debbink Langenkamp Active Transportation Safety Act
This legislation boosts federal support and flexibility to accelerate bicycle/pedestrian safety projects (including greater tribal access), but does so at the risk of higher federal/local fiscal costs and shifting resources in ways that may favor better-resourced jurisdictions and divert funding from other priorities.
School Bus Safety Act of 2025
The bill would substantially raise school‑bus safety nationwide—adding seat belts, fire and crash protections, driver training, and federal standards/support—but does so at significant near‑term cost and implementation burden, especially for small, rural, and older‑fleet operators, potentially delaying some benefits while raising taxpayer and district expenses.
RTP Full Funding Act of 2025
The bill increases and redirects fuel‑tax‑linked funding to expand and improve recreational trails and transparency, while risking reduced highway/transit resources and adding administrative complexity.
Safer Roads for Those Who Serve Act of 2026
The bill increases worker and public roadway safety through better data, outreach, research, and standardized planning—but does so at cost to states and local agencies (especially smaller jurisdictions) and requires modest new federal spending and administrative capacity to realize benefits.
FLAP Reauthorization Act
The bill secures predictable multi-year funding to improve access and safety to federal lands and supports construction jobs, but it does so by drawing on Highway Trust Fund resources, excluding mass transit benefits, and committing additional federal spending that could strain budgets without offsets.
Highway Formula Fairness Act
The bill increases predictability and rewards states that contribute more to the Highway Trust Fund by blending historic and recent payment measures and guaranteeing minimums, but that reallocation can reduce funding and planning certainty for lower-paying states and communities that may need more investment.
SAFER Transport Act
The bill strengthens oversight, fraud-fighting, and safety in freight and commercial driving—standardizing registrations, improving investigations, and tightening provider and driver accountability—but does so at the cost of new compliance burdens, privacy and litigation risks, and potential disruption to immigrant drivers and cross‑border carriers.
The Dalilah Law
The bill tightens CDL eligibility and enforces uniform standards to improve safety and protect jobs for citizens, but does so at the risk of immediate job losses for noncitizen drivers, reduced workforce availability, potential supply-chain impacts, and loss of federal transportation funds if states cannot or do not comply.
Need for Speed Act
The bill creates a federally funded, centralized transportation data tool intended to help agencies target congestion relief and safety investments, but it draws Highway Trust Fund money and raises privacy and equity concerns for smaller or rural agencies.
Preventing Roadside and Work Zone Deaths Act of 2026
The bill strengthens protections for people near disabled vehicles and improves crash data and federal oversight to better target safety investments, but it imposes new reporting and implementation costs, may strain smaller agencies, and could redirect limited safety funding away from other priorities.
Miranda’s Law
The bill improves road safety, transparency for employees, and interstate consistency by creating a national employer notification service, but it also creates new costs, privacy and security risks, and compliance burdens that may strain states, small employers, schools, and some drivers.
SECURES Act of 2026
The bill aims to improve student safety by encouraging three‑point seat belts and belt‑use technologies on school buses, but doing so would raise costs and implementation burdens that could strain school districts—especially low‑income ones—unless funding or mitigation is provided.
Balance the Highway Trust Fund Act
The bill tightens fiscal discipline by tying annual highway and transit obligations to Treasury receipt estimates—protecting taxpayers and moving funds to projects that can be spent quickly—but at the cost of increased risk that infrastructure and transit projects will be delayed, unevenly distributed, and harder for local governments and contractors to plan around.
Stop Underrides Act 2.0
The bill significantly advances underride-safety research, definitions, and oversight that can reduce fatal crashes and support evidence-based standards, but those safety gains come with material costs and operational burdens for manufacturers, carriers, small jurisdictions, and taxpayers and may be delayed if recommendations are not rapidly converted into binding rules.
Enforce Immigration or Lose Transportation Act
The bill increases federal leverage to enforce immigration-related checks on driver's licenses—potentially improving standardization, information sharing, and road safety for cooperating states—while risking significant cuts to transportation funding, reduced mobility and safety participation for immigrants, legal disputes, and higher local costs if states do not or cannot comply.
AV Safety Data Act
The bill would improve public and regulator access to standardized ADS/ADAS safety data—potentially speeding recalls, research, and responder planning—at the cost of increased reporting burdens and compliance expenses and heightened privacy, competitive, and investigative trade-offs.
Maximizing Transportation Efficiency Act
The bill redirects federal transportation funding toward travel‑demand management and small/local projects to broaden mobility options and reduce congestion/emissions—especially for rural and smaller communities—but does so by shifting dollars away from larger capital projects, creating funding tradeoffs, administrative complexity, and risks that some communities or drivers will face new costs or limited benefits.
Transportation Project Accountability Act of 2026
The bill increases transparency and performance-based prioritization of transportation projects—potentially improving accountability and cost-effectiveness—but it creates administrative costs, risks project delays from greater disclosure, and may bias funding away from hard-to-measure local and equity-focused benefits.
Wildlife Crossings Program Reauthorization Act of 2025
The bill funds and expands federal support for wildlife crossings—making projects feasible for rural, disadvantaged, and tribal communities and providing predictable national funding—at the cost of diverting Highway Trust Fund dollars, reducing local financial leverage, and creating modest administrative and long‑term federal obligations.
HAULS Act of 2025
The bill increases flexibility and clarity for agricultural transport—helping farmers, shippers, and supply chains move perishable goods faster—while raising road-safety risks, reducing state control, and creating competitive and administrative challenges for smaller carriers.
Wildlife Road Crossing Program Reauthorization Act of 2025
The bill creates dedicated, multi-year funding and tribal-focused support for wildlife crossings—improving road safety and tribal access to projects—but it does so by drawing from the Highway Trust Fund and retaining small administrative set-asides, which may reduce resources available for other transportation priorities.
Cannabinoid Safety and Regulation Act
The bill strengthens federal safety standards, research, and funding to reduce cannabis-related harms and standardize oversight, but it imposes new regulatory requirements, enforcement powers, and fiscal costs that raise burdens on small businesses, taxpayers, and some communities while risking regulatory uncertainty and uneven legal outcomes.
REPAIR Infrastructure Act
The bill channels substantial new and repurposed federal transportation funds toward equity‑focused, multimodal roadway reconstructions that improve safety and reduce emissions, but does so by creating ongoing HTF costs, constraining some state/local spending flexibility, and adding administrative requirements that may disadvantage smaller jurisdictions and delay certain projects.
Household Goods Shipping Consumer Protection Act
The bill strengthens DOT enforcement, registration clarity, and anti-fraud measures to improve safety and accountability in moving and freight operations, but it raises compliance costs, creates potential regulatory uncertainty and uneven state-level outcomes, and risks service disruptions for some carriers.
Motorcycle Safety Awareness Act of 2025
The bill increases motorcyclist awareness and rider safety by encouraging states to teach share-the-road principles and offers grant incentives, but requires states and school systems to absorb administrative and curriculum-update costs and manage complexity from state-specific laws.
AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act of 2025
The bill improves and standardizes AM emergency-alert access—especially helping rural drivers—by requiring AM-capable receivers and clarifying federal roles, but it increases costs and regulatory burdens for manufacturers, may constrain state-level flexibility, and could lock in legacy technology choices.
