Bill overview
The Pedestrian Protection Act aims to improve road safety for pedestrians and other vulnerable road users by establishing new safety standards for motor vehicles and requiring the Department of Transportation to publish comparative ratings of vehicle safety technology. Specifically, it mandates a rulemaking process to update vehicle design features like hoods, bumpers, and windshields to reduce collisions, and establishes minimum visibility standards. The bill also directs the Department to create and publish information for consumers regarding driver visibility of pedestrians and bicyclists, along with a plan for implementing a comprehensive driver visibility rating system.
