Safe Tracks Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Transportation to change a federal rail safety regulation within 30 days after the bill becomes law. The change would apply an existing set of federal safety requirements for processor-based signal and train control systems (subpart H of part 236 of title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations) to centralized computer-aided train-dispatching systems and centralized traffic control boards. The requirements would cover both systems already in use and any deployed in the future.
