Work Zone Weather Integration Act of 2025
To require the Secretary of Transportation to establish a pilot program to improve roadway safety through real-time integration of weather hazard alerts and active work zone data, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill requires the Department of Transportation to establish a pilot program to improve roadway safety by combining real-time weather alerts from the National Weather Service with information about active work zones. The program will develop technical protocols to integrate weather hazard alerts with work zone location and status data, and test these systems in at least five states, including at least one rural state. States participating in the pilot can use existing transportation safety funds for eligible activities. The Department must coordinate with federal agencies and private navigation and telematics providers in carrying out the program. Within three years of enactment, the Department must report to Congress on the pilot program's results and recommendations for nationwide deployment.
