Referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and in addition to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The Roadway Resiliency Act requires the Secretary of Transportation and the Director of the National Weather Service to work together to create best practices for managing roads during bad weather. Within 180 days of the bill becoming law, these two agencies must establish an interagency working group to develop these standards. The agencies then have an additional 180 days to submit their recommendations to Congress—specifically to the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee. The bill does not authorize new spending or establish specific programs; rather, it directs existing agencies to coordinate on improving how roads are managed during inclement weather conditions. This legislation affects state and local transportation agencies that would ultimately use these best practices to improve road safety and maintenance during storms and other severe weather.
