Safe Intersections for Buses and Pedestrians Act

This legislation aims to enhance safety by requiring a minimally obstructed forward-facing view from the driver's seat in all new motorcoaches manufactured for sale in the United States. The Secretary of Transportation, acting through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), is tasked with prescribing new motor vehicle safety standards to implement this requirement within one year of the bill's enactment. The bill specifies that motorcoaches can meet these new safety standards by utilizing camera or other technological means . These technologies must expand the range of the driver's forward-facing view or provide a view of an otherwise obstructed area. Crucially, any such technological solution must also comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Number 101.
