This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' commitment to eliminating all traffic fatalities by 2050. The measure calls on Congress and the Department of Transportation to work together toward this goal, citing that nearly 40,000 people died in motor vehicle crashes in 2024, with deaths affecting all age groups and disproportionately impacting pedestrians, cyclists, and rural road users. The resolution urges the transportation agencies to improve data collection on crashes, implement proven safety technologies and interventions, and address disparities in transportation safety. The resolution does not establish specific funding or mandates but rather expresses the legislative body's sense that a comprehensive, data-driven approach focusing on safer vehicles, better infrastructure, and reduced risky driving behaviors can significantly reduce or eliminate traffic deaths. This is a non-binding resolution that sets a policy direction rather than requiring immediate action or appropriating funds.
