Safe Intersections for Buses and Pedestrians Act

This bill would require the federal Department of Transportation, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, to set safety standards within 1 year so that all new buses made for sale in the United States give the driver a minimally obstructed forward-facing view from the driver's seat. A bus would meet the standard if it uses a camera or other technology that widens the driver's forward view or shows an obstructed area, as long as that technology complies with an existing federal safety standard for controls and displays. The bill uses the existing federal regulatory definition of 'bus' to decide which vehicles are covered.
