Evidence
The bill text for S.3572 says it would amend title 23 to let grant recipients improve highway safety through the integration of predictive data analytics, telematics, and other advanced technologies. It also adds language allowing the development, acquisition, or deployment of safety data and systems, including predictive analytics, telematics, and other validated methodology tools for highway safety.
Congress.gov lists the only recorded action on S.3572 as 'Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation' on 12/18/2025, and the bill status is Introduced.
Boozman's office said the Roadway Safety Modernization Act would help state DOTs use artificial intelligence and telematics to identify faulty or inadequate infrastructure, move from a 'crash first, fix later' approach to a proactive strategy, and utilize anonymized data to inform infrastructure safety decisions.

Boozman's office said he and Sen. Alex Padilla introduced the Roadway Safety Modernization Act to help state DOTs use AI, telematics, predictive analysis platforms, and anonymized data for proactive infrastructure safety decisions.
Assessments
Boozman materially advanced a bill that closely matched the promise: S.3572, the Roadway Safety Modernization Act of 2025, would let states use predictive analytics, telematics, AI, and anonymized safety data for proactive road-safety decisions. However, the available congressional record shows the bill was only introduced and referred to committee, with no passage, enactment, or implemented federal program change. Because the promised policy outcome was not delivered, but there was a serious same-term legislative effort, this is not fulfilled and earns an effort badge.
Boozman materially advanced the promise in his current Senate term by sponsoring and publicly leading the Roadway Safety Modernization Act of 2025, whose text directly matches the pledge to let states use predictive analytics, telematics, and anonymized safety data to identify infrastructure risks and prevent crashes. But the bill has only been introduced and referred to committee, with no Senate passage, House passage, or enactment as of June 14, 2026. That supports partial credit for a concrete same-term legislative push, not full delivery.
Boozman sponsored and publicly advanced S.3572, the Roadway Safety Modernization Act of 2025, which matches the promise by allowing federal road-safety programs to use predictive analytics, telematics, advanced technologies, and safety data systems. However, the official Congress.gov record still lists the bill only as introduced and referred to the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee on December 18, 2025, with no passage, enactment, or implemented federal program change. That is a serious legislative attempt but not delivery of the promised outcome.
Boozman sponsored S.3572, the Roadway Safety Modernization Act of 2025, which matches the promised policy by allowing federal road-safety programs to use predictive analytics, telematics, advanced technologies, and anonymized safety data. However, Congress.gov shows the bill remains only introduced and referred to committee, with no passage or enacted federal policy outcome as of May 8, 2026. This is a serious legislative attempt, but the promised modernization has not been delivered.
