Bridges not Bumpers Act of 2025

The Bridges not Bumpers Act of 2025 creates a working group to improve data sharing about bridge clearances for commercial vehicles, requiring better GPS navigation tools, clearer height labeling on rental vehicles (over 5,700 lbs), and warnings to renters. It mandates that rental companies provide height information and warnings about bridge clearance, while also addressing liability for inaccurate GPS data. The bill establishes a national clearinghouse for bridge strike data and funds research grants to identify high-risk locations and improve infrastructure. It directly affects commercial truck drivers, GPS navigation providers, and rental car companies with fleets of 5+ vehicles, aiming to reduce bridge strikes through better information and infrastructure planning.
