This memorial requests the New Mexico Department of Transportation to conduct an assessment of blocked train crossing times throughout the state, which can lead to significant congestion and safety issues, especially for rural communities. The resolution highlights the importance of rail lines for the movement of goods and acknowledges that train crossings can be obstructed for extended periods, sometimes up to thirty minutes.

The Department of Transportation is tasked with collaborating with rail providers to propose operational changes aimed at reducing blocked crossing times. Additionally, the department is requested to engage with railroad services and employee unions to gather insights. The findings and recommendations from this assessment are to be reported to the relevant interim committees studying transportation by September 1, 2025, and a copy of the memorial will be sent to the secretary of transportation for further distribution.
