Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives to reduce traffic fatalities to zero by 2050.
HRES 545 is a symbolic resolution expressing the House's commitment to achieving zero traffic fatalities by 2050. It calls on Congress and the Department of Transportation to collaborate on policies, improve data collection on traffic safety disparities, and implement proven safety measures. The resolution also urges federal agencies to use "crash" instead of "accident" when describing traffic incidents and addresses inequities in traffic safety outcomes. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws or allocate funds but sets a policy direction for future action.
