AI-generated summary, report an errorThis resolution states the position of the House of Representatives that traffic deaths in the United States should be reduced to zero by 2050. It calls on Congress and the Department of Transportation to work together toward that goal. It asks the Department of Transportation to improve how it collects and tracks traffic crash data and to commit to using proven safety measures. It also supports using the word "crash" instead of "accident" for traffic incidents and encourages federal agencies to do the same. As a resolution, it states a position and does not create new laws or funding.
