What this bill would do
The "Safer Emergency and Evacuation Routes Response Act of 2025" requires the Secretary of Transportation to create a voluntary pilot program. This program aims to integrate real-time wildfire hazard alerts with State and local transportation closure systems. The goal is to help participating States automatically share information about roadway closures, detours, and evacuation routes with drivers during wildfires. It will link National Weather Service alerts with traffic management and traveler information systems. The Secretary must evaluate the program's effectiveness in a report after two years.
