The Safer Rail Crossing Act of 2026 aims to enhance safety at rail crossings by addressing the issue of trespassing fatalities. The main objective of this legislation is to provide clear guidance to states on how to utilize federal funds to implement projects that can help reduce the number of accidents and deaths caused by people trespassing on railway property. One of the key provisions of this act is that it requires the Secretary of Transportation to issue guidance within one year of the law's enactment.
