To direct the Secretary of Transportation to issue guidance regarding State projects to reduce trespassing fatalities, and for other purposes.

# Summary of HR 7358 **What the Bill Would Do** HR 7358 directs the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to create official guidance for states that want to implement projects aimed at reducing deaths from trespassing on railroad tracks and similar transportation infrastructure. The bill addresses a public safety issue where people are struck by trains or vehicles while trespassing on railroad property. By providing standardized guidance, the bill aims to help states develop and fund effective programs to prevent these accidents. **Who It Affects** This bill would primarily affect state transportation departments and railroad operators who would use the new federal guidance to design safety programs.

It could also benefit the general public, particularly in communities with high rates of railroad trespassing incidents. The bill may influence how federal transportation funding is allocated for these safety projects. **Current Status** HR 7358 was introduced by Representative Maxwell Frost (D-FL) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. No additional details about specific safety measures or funding amounts are provided in the bill's current description.
