Designating November 30, 2025, as "Drive Safer Sunday".
Mail Traffic Deaths Reporting Act of 2025
The bill increases transparency, consistency, and potential accountability for USPS vehicle crashes—improving oversight and benefits for injured parties and workers—while imposing privacy risks, administrative costs, and potential financial penalties on contractors.
Supporting the goals and ideals of a National Move Over Law Day.
The resolution seeks to improve roadside safety nationwide through a coordinated awareness week and standardized messaging, at the cost of modest public spending and a potential increase in traffic citations for drivers unaware of state-specific move-over rules.
Designating the week of September 14 through September 20, 2025, as "National Truck Driver Appreciation Week".
The resolution highlights and defends the essential role of trucking—supporting workers, rural access, and military logistics—but trades off by offering praise without concrete reforms, which could entrench road freight reliance and weaken pressure to address specific labor and safety problems.
Expressing support for the designation of May 2025 as "Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month".
The resolution promotes motorcycle-safety awareness and federal outreach that could improve rider safety and save riders money, but its reliance on awareness (not new rules or funding) limits expected safety gains and could be used to argue for reduced infrastructure spending.
Sarah Debbink Langenkamp Active Transportation Safety Act
The bill makes it much easier and cheaper for states, tribes, and localities to fund bicycle/pedestrian and safety projects—improving safety for vulnerable road users—but increases federal spending and risks reallocating scarce transportation funds and favoring better-resourced jurisdictions over under-resourced communities.
School Bus Safety Act of 2025
The bill substantially raises school‑bus safety by mandating seat belts, fire protection, advanced crash‑avoidance tech, training, and federal standards plus funding support — but does so at significant upfront cost and implementation burden that may fall unevenly on small manufacturers, rural districts, and taxpayers and delay benefits for older fleets.
Designate the area of Sumner Row between 16th Street and Northwest and L Street Northwest in Washington, District of Columbia, as "Alexi Navalny Way".
This bill trades a low-cost, high-visibility symbolic show of U.S. support for Russian dissidents and clearer local addressing against modest local administrative and signage costs and a nontrivial risk of heightened diplomatic tensions with limited direct effect on conditions inside Russia.
Uniform Vehicle Safety Standards Act of 2026
The bill creates uniform federal safety standards and reduces manufacturers' liability and litigation risk to simplify compliance, at the cost of limiting consumers' ability to sue and potentially shifting costs or constraining regulators' enforcement tools.
MAP Roads Act
The bill funds digitization and public publication of county road maps to improve navigation, commerce, and emergency response—particularly for rural and under-resourced areas—while imposing modest federal costs, ongoing maintenance responsibilities, administrative burdens, and potential privacy concerns for landowners.
SAFE Act
The bill strengthens detection and enforcement against unsafe, identity‑evading carriers—likely improving road safety and insurer protections—at the cost of greater compliance burdens, privacy risks, and increased administrative and implementation expense that disproportionately affect small carriers and government resources.
Tire Safety Modernization Act of 2026
The bill tightens and harmonizes tire safety and high-speed testing standards to improve road safety and product comparability, while imposing compliance costs and tight implementation deadlines that could raise prices and create short-term supply and regulatory strain.
RAAM Act
The bill simplifies and lowers federal fuel‑economy obligations and preempts state rules to reduce regulatory costs and ease interstate vehicle commerce, but in return it likely increases fuel use and emissions, weakens state-level climate and air‑quality tools, and may raise long‑term fuel costs for drivers.
Staged Accident Fraud Prevention Act of 2026
The bill strengthens federal tools to deter and prosecute staged collisions against commercial vehicles—improving driver safety and enabling interstate enforcement—while expanding federal criminal reach in ways that may duplicate state law, raise costs, create legal uncertainty, and risk severe federal penalties for contested intent cases.
STOP Frontovers Act of 2026
The bill would markedly improve low-speed pedestrian safety—especially for children and people using mobility aids—through required detection/intervention systems and standardized crash reporting, but it imposes new compliance and administrative costs that may raise vehicle prices and strain small manufacturers and government agencies.
Gas Money Saved Act
This bill makes fuel-economy rules more responsive to sustained gasoline price spikes and modestly raises enforcement penalties — trading potential short-term consumer fuel savings and quicker regulatory responsiveness for risks of weaker long-term standards, greater regulatory and legal uncertainty, and modest cost increases for regulated entities and consumers.
Tristan's Law
The bill aims to improve pedestrian and child safety around frozen dessert trucks through equipment mandates, incentives, and NHTSA guidance, but it imposes costs on small vendors, slightly reallocates funding away from another program area, risks inequitable grant distribution tied to 2022 apportionments, and increases administrative burden.
Exempt stinger-steered combinations from a requirement to include warning flags on projecting loads.
The bill reduces regulatory burden and yields modest time/cost savings for carriers and shippers by allowing quick exemptions, but it increases safety risks and reduces public oversight, potentially raising liability and downstream costs.
Safe Bus Routes to School Act
The bill improves student safety around school buses by funding sidewalks, crossings, and education and by enabling use of federal safety dollars for bus-route infrastructure, but it rebalances transportation funding toward these projects and may create local cost burdens and enforcement risks for some communities.
Gas Tax Suspension Act
The bill provides short-term fuel-cost relief for drivers and businesses while preserving road and cleanup funding through general-fund transfers, shifting costs to taxpayers and creating administrative and budgeting uncertainty.
I–47 Future Interstate Act of 2026
The bill improves long‑distance connectivity and economic opportunity by creating a continuous Interstate corridor, but it shifts substantial costs, local disruption, and environmental and safety burdens onto communities and governments along the route.
CDL Act
The bill improves federal and employer ability to verify citizenship and reduce credential fraud, but does so by adding visible citizenship markers and verification steps that raise privacy and civil‑liberties risks, limit job access for many immigrants, may reduce ID use and public safety, and impose costs on states.
Nicholas Douglas Quets Border Travel Safety Act
The bill improves traveler safety and awareness at U.S.–Mexico land ports through standardized, multilingual signage and stronger State–DHS coordination, but does so at added taxpayer and administrative cost and with risks of local economic harm, uneven implementation, reliance on potentially lagging State advisories, and limits on military flexibility.
Safer Roads for Those Who Serve Act of 2026
The bill substantially boosts protections for roadside and highway workers through data, outreach, research, and planning incentives, but does so at the cost of added administrative burdens and modest federal spending increases that may disproportionately strain smaller or under-resourced jurisdictions.
Dalilah’s Law Act
The bill strengthens national security and road‑safety oversight by requiring immigration/work‑eligibility verification for CDLs and creating federal enforcement and remedies, but does so by imposing substantial criminal penalties, civil liabilities, administrative burdens, privacy risks, and expanded costs that sharply increase risks for immigrants, state/local agencies, employers, and taxpayers.
DOT Victim and Survivor Advocate Act
FLAP Reauthorization Act
The bill provides predictable, rising federal funding to improve access to federal lands and support local jobs, at the trade‑off of drawing from the Highway Trust Fund, excluding mass transit beneficiaries, and increasing authorized federal spending that could strain budgets without offsets.
Responder and Recovery Safety in EV Fires Act
The bill improves EV-incident response and data-driven prevention by coordinating responders and industry, but does so with reduced advisory transparency, potential industry influence over guidance, privacy concerns from data collection, and modest diversion of DOT resources.
Trucking Security and CCP Disclosure Act of 2026
The bill strengthens DoD logistics security and supply-chain transparency by excluding carriers linked to the Chinese military and imposing certifications and penalties, but it increases compliance costs, shrinks the pool of eligible carriers, and creates regulatory and enforcement risks that could raise costs or disrupt military shipments.
Securing Infrastructure from Adversaries Act of 2026
The bill strengthens national-security controls over LiDAR procurement and preserves paths for critical safety and urgent projects, but it raises procurement costs, administrative burden, and risks slowing deployment of advanced LiDAR capabilities for some infrastructure projects.
