Assessments
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.
