Work Zone Safety Enhancement Act

This bill would let states use part of their federal highway safety grant money for work zone safety, as long as it fits the state's approved three-year highway safety plan. Allowed uses include paying for police patrols and enforcement in or near work zones, adding work zone lessons to driver education and licensing tests, buying and testing warning and intrusion-detection technology, training flaggers and construction workers, and collecting crash data. States would have to give priority to helping Tribal governments and rural areas. The bill also requires the Government Accountability Office to study how well work zone safety programs work and report to Congress within two years.
