Safe Tracks Act

This bill, known as the Safe Tracks Act, mandates that the Secretary of Transportation amend federal regulations within 30 days of its enactment. The amendment specifically targets section 236.911 of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, to incorporate new safety requirements. Its primary goal is to apply the safety requirements outlined in subpart H of part 236 to all centralized computer-aided train-dispatching systems, including both existing and future deployments. Furthermore, the bill ensures these same safety standards are extended to centralized traffic control boards, aiming to improve overall rail operational safety and oversight.
