ASSESS BLOCKED TRAIN CROSSING TIMES
This memorial requests New Mexico's Department of Transportation to assess how long train crossings block roads statewide (often up to 30 minutes), particularly impacting rural areas. It directs the department to collaborate with rail companies, unions, and local authorities to identify solutions for reducing these delays. The department must report its findings and recommendations to transportation committees by September 1, 2025. As a procedural memorial, it does not create new law but initiates an assessment process.
