Save Our Pedestrians Act of 2026

This bill would change federal highway law to require each state to spend 5 percent of its federal Highway Safety Improvement Program funds on safety projects at high-risk pedestrian crossings. The requirement would begin in fiscal year 2027 and continue each year after. A high-risk pedestrian crossing is defined as a crossing on a highway that the state, working with local governments, identifies as having a high number of injuries or deaths from crashes between vehicles and pedestrians.
