States would get clear rules to fund projects that prevent rail trespassing deaths.
This bill would clarify how states can use existing federal money for projects that stop people from trespassing on train tracks, which often leads to deaths. It tells the Department of Transportation to create clear guidelines within a year. This could help states carry out more effective safety projects.
Today, states lack specific guidance from the Department of Transportation on how to use certain federal funds for projects that reduce trespassing fatalities near train tracks. If this bill passes, the Department of Transportation would issue clear guidance within one year, helping states better understand and use these funds for safety improvements.
