Key Points

This bill requires states to set aside 5 percent of their federal highway safety money specifically for dangerous pedestrian crossings. This ensures that a portion of transportation funding is always used to protect people walking near traffic.
State and local governments will work together to identify high-risk areas. These are spots where many people have already been hurt or killed in accidents involving cars and pedestrians.
The new rules would start in the 2027 budget year. By focusing money on the most dangerous spots, the policy aims to quickly reduce the number of walking-related injuries and deaths across the country.
States would use this money for safety projects like better lighting, clearer signs, or physical changes to the road that make it safer for people to cross the street.
