In Committee
Summary
Integration of predictive analytics, telematics, and other validated safety data tools into highway and freight safety programs is the bill's main aim. It would broaden federal highway and freight programs to allow states and operators to use those tools for risk modeling, planning, and performance evaluation and would require guidance on privacy and validation.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
More data-driven highway safety tools
If enacted, the bill would let Highway Safety Improvement Program money be used to develop, buy, or deploy safety data systems like predictive analytics and telematics. States would be required to use crash data and those predictive tools to spot and fix high-risk roads and to measure whether safety projects cut crashes, injuries, or deaths. Railway-highway crossing data would include highway and train traffic details, licensing, and vehicle data, and use predictive data when practicable. The Secretary of Transportation would have to coordinate DOT offices that fund these tools and issue guidance within one year on anonymizing and protecting safety data and on validated methods.
New rules for freight safety tech
If enacted, the bill would allow the National Highway Freight Program to fund predictive analytics, telematics, and similar safety data tools to improve freight safety and support performance-based planning. The bill would define "intelligent freight transportation system" to cover smart freight infrastructure, communications, and facilities near federal highways and land ports of entry. The Administrator would have one year after enactment to decide whether operating standards are needed and, if so, must report that need to Congress.
