The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation that directs the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Ray LaHood, to study and establish a motor vehicle safety standard that provides for a means of alerting blind and other pedestrians of motor vehicle operation.

Known as the “Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act of 2010,” the bill has already moved through the U.S. Senate. The bill ensures that pedestrians will be able to detect a nearby electric or hybrid vehicle in “critical operating scenarios including, but not limited to, constant speed, accelerating or decelerating.”

ASA encourages independent repairers to go to the ASA legislative website, www.TakingTheHill.com, to review the Pedestrian Safety Act of 2010.
