GovInfo identifies H.R. 6821 as the Protect Our Students Act, sponsored by Dina Titus, to amend 23 U.S.C. 402 so highway safety programs cover traffic incidents in school zones and to clarify eligible uses such as crossing guards, beacons, signage, crosswalks, traffic calming, school-zone audits, automated enforcement, and Safe Routes to School non-infrastructure.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Titus introduced legislation that directly matches the commitment, but this source shows it as introduced and referred, not enacted.

The House Committee Repository says the amendment in the nature of a substitute to H.R. 8870 was agreed to, and the bill was ordered favorably reported to the House, as amended, by a recorded vote of 62 yeas and 2 nays.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The broader surface-transportation bill containing school-zone eligibility language advanced out of committee, which is partial progress. No official record found in the Aug. 22-24, 2026 lookback showed final House/Senate passage, enactment, or agency implementation.

Titus directly pursued the promise in the same federal House term by introducing H.R. 6821 and by offering an amendment to H.R. 8870 that was adopted in committee. But the promised outcome requires school-zone safety improvements to become eligible for federal highway safety funding through enacted law or implemented policy. The evidence shows committee advancement and favorable reporting only, with no final House and Senate passage, enactment, or agency implementation. That is a serious legislative attempt, not fulfillment.
