State Actions For Employing Transportation Risk Assessments and Crossing Knowledge Strategies Act

Sponsored By: Representative Pou, Nellie [D-NJ-9]

In Committee

Summary

Requires states to plan coordinated action to cut pedestrian deaths along railroad rights of way. This bill would add a requirement that states describe how they will work with railroads, mental health providers, and law enforcement to reduce pedestrian fatalities, including suicides, and it would set a five-year cadence for related reporting or actions to the Federal Railroad Administration.

Show full summary
  • States: States would need to include in their highway-rail crossing safety reports a description of how they will work with stakeholders to reduce pedestrian fatalities, including consultations with mental health and law enforcement agencies.
  • Railroads and local partners: Railroads operating in and across a state would be named stakeholders in those plans, increasing expectations for local coordination and information sharing.
  • Federal Railroad Administration: The bill would require the Administrator to receive the referenced report or action every 5 years, creating a recurring check-in on state strategies.
