## 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. - 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.
