What this bill would do
The Roadway Safety Modernization Act of 2025 updates federal law to let grant recipients use advanced technology like predictive data analytics and telematics to improve highway and freight safety. It allows these tools to be used for risk modeling, safety planning, and identifying high-risk road segments. The bill also directs the Secretary of Transportation to create guidelines for data privacy and tool transparency. Additionally, the Administrator must determine if operating standards for intelligent freight transportation systems are necessary.
