Surface Transportation Weather Safety Gap Analysis Act of 2025

# Surface Transportation Weather Safety Gap Analysis Act of 2025 **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would require the federal government to conduct a comprehensive study analyzing gaps in weather safety information and warning systems for surface transportation (roads, highways, and related infrastructure). If passed, it would direct relevant agencies to identify where current weather monitoring and alert systems fall short in protecting drivers and other road users from dangerous weather conditions. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects the general public who use roads and highways, as well as transportation agencies, weather forecasting services, and emergency management officials.

Improved weather safety systems could potentially reduce accidents and fatalities caused by dangerous road conditions from storms, ice, fog, and other weather events. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Senator Tim Sheehy (R-MT) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet advanced to a full vote in either chamber of Congress. No further action has been taken at this time.
