Legislative Progress
Most bills like this struggle to pass without a larger group of supporters or being part of a bigger transportation package.
Key Points
- This bill creates a new grant program that gives $5 million every year to cities and local governments. This money would pay for things like better lighting, updated traffic signals, and safer sidewalks to keep people safe while walking or biking.
- Government experts would study where most accidents happen in big cities. They will look for new ways to design roads and use technology to stop cars from hitting people.
- The plan also looks at car safety features like blind spot sensors and speed alerts. Experts want to make sure these systems actually see everyone on the road and help drivers avoid crashes.
- New technology for crosswalks and bridges would be tested to make sure it helps without distracting drivers. This includes things like signals that talk to people who are blind and better signs that are easy to see at night.
