AI Summary
This bill, the Vision Zero Act of 2019, allows states to use funding from the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program, the Highway Safety Improvement Program, and the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program to develop and implement "vision zero" plans in eligible local government entities. These plans aim to eliminate transportation-related fatalities and serious injuries within a specified timeframe, not exceeding 20 years, through various safety-focused strategies, such as evaluating automotive technologies, prioritizing roadway design for all users, and ensuring equitable investment in low-income and minority communities.
