To amend title 23, United States Code, and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act with respect to vehicle roadside crashes, work zone safety, and for other purposes.
Key claim: HR2992 would amend title 23 of the U.S. Code and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to improve vehicle roadside crash and work zone safety.
Abstract
(HR2992 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2025-04-24): Referred to the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit.
Why this matters
Roadside crashes and work zone incidents are persistent sources of worker and motorist fatalities on federal-aid highways, and title 23 plus the IIJA are the primary vehicles for setting safety standards and funding conditions in this area. Tracking HR2992 clarifies whether Congress is layering new work-zone protections onto existing FHWA safety programs like HSIP, even though the introductory text does not yet specify mechanisms.
