Safer Emergency and Evacuation Routes Response Act of 2025

This bill would require the Secretary of Transportation, working with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Forest Service, to set up a voluntary pilot program. The program would help participating states link National Weather Service wildfire alerts with state and local traffic systems so drivers automatically get information on road closures, detours, and evacuation routes during wildfires. States would not have to adopt uniform systems, and the federal government would not gain power to decide road closures. The program could be paid for with existing surface transportation research funds, and a report evaluating it would be due to Congress within 2 years after it starts.
