HR 511 Pennsylvania House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

A Resolution designating the week of September 23 through 29, 2024, as "Rail Safety Week" in Pennsylvania.

This Pennsylvania House Resolution designates the week of September 23 through 29, 2024, as "Rail Safety Week" to raise public awareness about railroad safety. The measure highlights the importance of rail travel while addressing ongoing risks such as crossing collisions and trespassing on tracks. It aligns with the national "See Tracks? Think Train Week" campaign led by Operation Lifesaver to educate residents on avoiding accidents near railroad lines. The resolution is a symbolic gesture intended to encourage safer behavior rather than implementing new laws or regulations.
