Roadway Resiliency Act
Roadway Management: Weather Safety Working Group
The Roadway Resiliency Act is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. It has been sent to two House committees for review and is considered active. There are no upcoming votes scheduled at this time.
Legislative Progress
While weather safety is a common goal, most bills that only create working groups struggle to get attention unless they are part of a larger package.
Key Points
- This bill would create a new team of experts from the Department of Transportation and the National Weather Service. Their job would be to figure out the best ways to manage roads and highways during dangerous weather like floods, snow, or heavy rain.
- The goal is to help local and state governments keep drivers safer when the weather gets bad. By sharing data and tools, the federal government can help communities prepare for storms and keep traffic moving safely.
- The group must be formed within six months of the bill passing. After that, they have another six months to finish their research and give a report to Congress with their recommendations.
- This plan does not provide new money for road repairs right now. Instead, it focuses on creating a smarter plan for how to handle weather emergencies on our streets and highways.
