Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Section 25017 ("University Transportation Centers Program")

This is a binding federal statute enacted by the United States Congress that amends Title 49 of the United States Code. It contains mandatory language and creates legally enforceable obligations for the Secretary of Transportation and university transportation centers receiving federal grants.

The document has minimal coverage of risk domains, with only subdomain 2.2 (AI system security vulnerabilities) receiving a coverage score of 2. The document briefly mentions cybersecurity implications of autonomous vehicles and connected infrastructure, but does not provide comprehensive governance measures or detailed risk mitigation strategies for this or any other risk domain.

The document primarily governs Educational Services (university transportation centers conducting research) and has minimal coverage of Trade, Transportation and Utilities (through research on autonomous vehicles and connected infrastructure). The governance is focused on research activities rather than operational deployment of AI systems in these sectors.

The document primarily addresses the Plan and Design stage by establishing research objectives for university transportation centers to study cybersecurity implications of autonomous vehicles and connected infrastructure. It does not substantively cover data collection, model building, verification, deployment, or operational monitoring stages of AI systems themselves.

The document mentions autonomous vehicles and connected vehicle technologies but does not explicitly define or discuss AI models, AI systems, frontier AI, general purpose AI, foundation models, generative AI, predictive AI, open-weight models, or compute thresholds. The focus is on research objectives for transportation technologies rather than AI technical specifications.
