Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives to reduce traffic fatalities to zero by 2050.
This House resolution expresses the official sense of the House of Representatives to eliminate all roadway fatalities in the United States by the year 2050. It directly addresses the Department of Transportation and Congress by urging them to adopt a data-driven safe systems approach that considers all aspects of the transportation environment. The measure calls for improved crash data collection, the implementation of proven safety countermeasures, and a commitment to addressing disparities in traffic safety. Additionally, the resolution supports using the term "crash" instead of "accident" to better describe traffic incidents.
