Roadway Safety Modernization Act of 2025

This bill would change federal highway safety and freight programs so that states receiving these grants can spend money on safety data tools, including predictive analytics and telematics (data collected from vehicles). It would add the use of these tools to state highway safety planning and to the traffic safety data programs states run. It would require the Federal Highway Administration to decide within one year whether operating standards are needed for intelligent freight transportation systems and to report to Congress if they are. The Secretary of Transportation would have to issue guidance within one year on anonymizing and securing highway safety data and protecting personal information. The Secretary would also coordinate these efforts across Department of Transportation agencies and consult with other federal departments.
