Bill > HR6874

This bill, the Roadway Safety Modernization Act of 2025, aims to enhance highway safety by allowing recipients of certain federal grants to use advanced technologies. Specifically, it amends existing highway and freight safety programs to include the development, acquisition, or deployment of safety data and systems, such as predictive analytics (using data to forecast future events), telematics (using wireless technology to transmit data from vehicles), and other validated tools. This integration will help in identifying risks, planning safety measures, and evaluating the effectiveness of safety projects. The bill also defines "intelligent freight transportation systems" as innovative technological systems or communication networks that improve freight movement efficiency, security, or safety. Furthermore, it mandates the Secretary of Transportation to issue guidance on best practices for data anonymization, security, transparency, and the reliability of these new technologies, and to coordinate their use across various transportation agencies.
