Introduced in the SenateSenate Bill

Vehicle Safety Research Act of 2025

Summary · Congressional Research Service (nonpartisan)

This bill provides statutory authority for the Partnership for Analytics Research in Traffic Safety (PARTS) program in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). PARTS is an accord among automakers and NHTSA, which enables participants to voluntarily share safety-related data, via an independent third party, for collaborative safety analysis. The bill specifies that NHTSA must develop a governing charter for the program; NHTSA must contract with an external organization (i.e., a qualified nonprofit organization or institution of higher education) to conduct research to gather, analyze, and share certain traffic safety data and information; and any report, data, communications, work product, or other information voluntarily submitted to NHTSA or an external organization under the program shall not be disclosed to the public. Further, the bill specifies that NHTSA is not required to promulgate any regulations to carry out the PARTS program.
