A resolution expressing support for the designation of the week of September 18 through September 24, 2023, as "Rail Safety Week" in the United States and supporting the goals and ideals of Rail Safety Week to reduce highway-rail grade crossing and trespasser-related incidents, fatalities, and injuries, reduce derailments, improve the safe transportation of hazardous materials by rail, and prevent rail worker fatalities.

This resolution (SRES 356) expresses the U.S. Senate's support for designating September 18-24, 2023, as "Rail Safety Week" in the United States. It does not create new laws or funding but publicly endorses efforts to reduce rail-related incidents - including highway-rail grade crossing collisions, trespasser incidents, derailments, and hazardous material transport risks - through education and awareness. The resolution specifically highlights goals aligned with Operation Lifesaver’s safety initiatives and references recent rail safety data, including 2022 statistics on collisions and derailments. It encourages public participation in safety activities but has no binding policy effect.
