This legislation aims to reduce injuries and fatalities among these workers by enhancing data collection, safety programs, and public awareness. Key provisions of the law include several measures to improve safety for highway workers. It mandates better data collection on accidents involving these workers, requiring states to develop strategies if injuries or fatalities increase over a two-year period.
