Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

Pedestrian Protection Act

Key claim: HR9297, the Pedestrian Protection Act, was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce in the 119th Congress.

Abstract

(HR9297 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-06-11): Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Why this matters

Pedestrian fatalities have been a persistent concern in U.S. surface transportation safety, and federal legislation targeting pedestrian protection could shape NHTSA rulemaking on vehicle design, sensing, or road-user safety standards. The referral of HR9297 marks an early procedural step; its practical effect depends on whether the committee advances it. Tracking this bill alongside other active-transportation safety measures helps map the current federal pedestrian-safety policy landscape.
