A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate to reduce traffic fatalities to zero by 2050.
SRES 274 is a non-binding Senate resolution expressing the chamber's commitment to achieving zero traffic fatalities by 2050. It calls on Congress and the Department of Transportation to adopt a "safe systems approach" focusing on data-driven policies, improved crash data collection, and addressing safety disparities affecting communities of color and low-income neighborhoods. The resolution specifically urges federal agencies to replace the term "accident" with "crash" in official communications and prioritize proven safety countermeasures like speed management and vehicle safety technologies. It does not create new laws but sets a goal and outlines policy priorities for federal transportation agencies.
