This bill is a memorial requesting the New Mexico Department of Transportation to assess the duration of blocked train crossings throughout the state and to make recommendations aimed at reducing these times. The bill highlights the importance of rail lines for the movement of goods and acknowledges the congestion and safety issues caused by trains blocking crossings for extended periods, particularly affecting rural communities.

The resolution calls for the Department of Transportation to collaborate with rail providers and to engage with railroad services and employee unions to explore operational changes that could alleviate the problem. Additionally, the department is tasked with reporting its findings and recommendations to the relevant interim committees by September 1, 2025, and a copy of the memorial is to be sent to the secretary of transportation for further distribution.
