Securing Infrastructure from Adversaries Act of 2026

This bill would bar the U.S. Secretary of Transportation from buying or obtaining LiDAR (light detection and ranging) technology made by certain listed foreign companies or produced in certain listed foreign countries. Contractors would have to certify to the Department of Transportation that such LiDAR will not be used in their contract work before a contract is signed, extended, or renewed. Department loan and grant funds could not be used to buy, obtain, or use this LiDAR. The Secretary could waive the ban case by case by telling two congressional committees in writing, at least 15 days ahead, that the waiver is in the national interest. The rules would apply starting June 30, 2026, and would not apply to vehicle safety testing, research, or training, or to certain vehicle and motor carrier safety exemption requests.
