Expressing support for the designation of the week of September 19 through September 25, 2022, as "Rail Safety Week" in the United States, and supporting the goals and ideals of Rail Safety Week to reduce rail-related incidents, fatalities, and injuries.
HRES 1371 designates the week of September 19-25, 2022, as "Rail Safety Week" in the U.S. to support efforts reducing rail-related incidents. The resolution expresses congressional backing for existing safety initiatives, like Operation Lifesaver’s public education programs, which focus on preventing highway-rail crossing accidents and trespassing. It encourages the public to participate in safety activities and learn about staying safe near train tracks. This symbolic resolution does not create new laws or funding but aims to raise awareness around a recurring safety issue.
