                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Urging the States to include in their driver's license exams at least 
 one question about highway-rail grade crossings safety by fiscal year 
                                 2005.

Whereas there were more than 3,200 accidents at highway-rail crossings in each 
        of 1999, 2000, and 2001;
Whereas more than 400 people died in accidents at highway-rail grade crossings 
        in 2001;
Whereas there are 2 ways to prevent accidents at highway-rail grade crossings--

    (1) implementation of improved technology or elimination of grade 
crossings; and

    (2) education of the public;

Whereas funds are provided for the implementation of improved technology and the 
        elimination of grade crossings under section 130 of title 23, United 
        States Code; and
Whereas additional measures that help educate the public about the dangers and 
        risks associated with highway-rail grade crossings should be 
        implemented: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That Congress urges the States to include in their driver's license 
exams, including commercial driver's license exams, at least one 
question regarding highway-rail grade crossings safety by fiscal year 
2005.
