Summary
To require the Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Secretary of Transportation to take certain actions to develop physical alternatives to better protect pedestrians and vulnerable road users against traffic incidents, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
The PHASE Act of 2023 requires the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Department of Transportation to develop physical solutions that protect pedestrians and cyclists from traffic accidents. The bill focuses on creating safer road designs and infrastructure rather than relying solely on driver behavior or vehicle technology. Pedestrians and cyclists are considered vulnerable road users because they lack the protection that vehicle occupants have. The bill is currently in the early stage after being introduced in Congress with bipartisan sponsorship.
