A Senate resolution is the Senate speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the Senate agrees to it, it is officially the Senate's word; it is not a law, so the House and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This Senate resolution expresses the sense of the Senate regarding the goal of reducing traffic fatalities to zero by the year 2050. The resolution aims to advance policies that would end roadway deaths and calls for cooperation between Congress and the Department of Transportation to achieve this target. It specifically asks the Department of Transportation to implement proven countermeasures and interventions to prioritize safety. Additionally, the resolution supports addressing safety disparities and improving the tracking of traffic crash data. It recognizes the necessity of a safe system approach to improve mobility and access. Finally, it encourages the use of the term "crash" instead of "accident" across federal agencies.
