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 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 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.
Tire Safety Modernization Act of 2026
The bill strengthens tire safety and harmonizes high‑speed testing standards to reduce failures, but imposes compliance costs and tight implementation deadlines that may raise prices and strain regulators and supply chains.
Staged Accident Fraud Prevention Act of 2026
The bill strengthens federal criminal tools to deter and prosecute staged collisions against commercial vehicles—improving safety for transportation workers—but expands federal jurisdiction in ways that raise risks of overlapping prosecutions, higher taxpayer costs, and severe federal penalties for disputed intent.
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.
No Licenses for Illegal Drivers or Truckers Act of 2026
The bill conditions full federal highway funding on state verification of lawful presence and biometric identity checks—strengthening ID integrity and protecting transportation funding for compliant States, but imposing administrative costs, privacy risks, and potentially penalizing noncompliant States in ways that delay projects and create political and equity disputes.
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.
Highway Formula Fairness Act
The bill increases predictability and ties more highway funding to states' historical and current tax contributions—benefiting states that pay more into the Highway Trust Fund—but shifts dollars away from some states, raising equity concerns and risking project delays for communities that lose funding.
SAFER Transport Act
The bill strengthens enforcement, standardizes registration/definitions, and aims to reduce freight theft and unsafe actors — at the cost of substantial new compliance, administrative burdens, data‑sharing/privacy risks, and heightened criminal and debarment exposure that could disrupt small carriers and cross‑border operations.
The Dalilah Law
The bill enforces stricter, uniform CDL eligibility and English-testing requirements—using federal funding leverage to improve safety and reserve jobs for citizens/LPRs—but risks significant job losses among noncitizen drivers, reduced state transportation funding, and permanent disqualifications that could harm workers and supply chains.
