The 1,300 or so pages that comprise a long-awaited transportation bill make for dry reading. Few people will peruse the details of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act, signed into law last week, if they hear about it at all. That’s a shame, because this is one of those rare pieces of legislation from Washington that actually has a meaningful impact on almost every American. If you drive a motor vehicle, or merely ride in one, there are provisions in the FAST Act that affect you. And the impact goes beyond the $300 billion in funding to fix dilapidated roads and crumbling infrastructure on which we’ve all grown accustomed to driving. From safety to automated enforcement to data privacy, this is a far-reaching bill.
