Safer Emergency and Evacuation Routes Response Act of 2025

S 2901 creates a voluntary pilot program for states to link wildfire hazard alerts from the National Weather Service with local traffic management systems. This would automatically send real-time updates about road closures and evacuation routes to drivers during wildfires, using existing technology without requiring new systems or centralized infrastructure. The program, funded through current transportation research budgets, must be evaluated after two years and explicitly states the federal government cannot direct roadway closure decisions.
