## Summary

**Prioritizes roadside and work zone safety by explicitly covering disabled vehicles and people near them.** It broadens safety planning, data collection, public messaging, and sets up two working groups to analyze crashes and recommend fixes. - Drivers, occupants, and pedestrians: Adds "occupants and pedestrians associated with disabled vehicles" to the Highway Safety and Improvement Program's eligibility and planning. That expands HSIP attention and potential funding to hazards around stopped or disabled vehicles. - Road workers and construction crews: Creates a Work Zone Crash Working Group with contractors, unions, traffic safety experts, and state officials. It will collect detailed work zone crash data, develop prevention strategies, and push for better use of work zone contingency funds. - Agencies, first responders, and state programs: Creates a Disabled Vehicle Crash Working Group to compile accurate disabled-vehicle crash data, improve sharing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and publish annual awareness and intervention updates. The Federal Highway Administration must also report to Congress on which states used work zone safety contingency funds and how much each dedicated.

## Provisions PRIA read

- New federal groups on roadside safety: benefit, high. If enacted, the Transportation Department would convene two working groups. One would focus on crashes involving disabled vehicles. The other would focus on work zone crashes. They would collect and publish detailed data, make action plans, improve data sharing with NHTSA, and give yearly updates.…
- Better crash data and Move Over outreach: benefit, medium. If enacted, federal crash data would explicitly track roadside and work zone deaths. Public awareness would expand beyond emergency vehicles to include motorists, disabled cars, road workers, and work zone equipment. This could help drivers see and slow down near these hazards.
- More safety focus on disabled vehicles: benefit, medium. If enacted, state highway safety plans would need to consider people in and around disabled vehicles. States could fund more projects that protect stranded drivers and nearby pedestrians. This could shift safety dollars toward roadside breakdown risks.
