This legislation amends Section 20167 of title 49, United States Code, to enhance highway-rail grade crossing safety reporting requirements for states. It mandates that states include new information in their periodic reports, specifically detailing how they will work with various stakeholders , including railroads, to reduce pedestrian fatalities , such as suicides, along railroad rights-of-way. This collaborative effort must involve consultation with mental health and law enforcement agencies to develop comprehensive strategies. The bill also establishes that these updated and more detailed reports will be required every five years . This ensures a consistent and ongoing assessment of state actions and progress in improving safety at and around railroad crossings, promoting continuous improvement in rail safety.
