Please consider including this bill in the forthcoming Surface Transportation Reauthorization.
Kevin Mullin will work to include the SAFE CROSS Act in the Surface Transportation Reauthorization.
Occurrences
The SAFE Cross Act would require a study on the use of AI-enabled sensors to improve safety at rail crossings, building on successful local pilot projects like Caltrain’s low-cost deployment in California’s 15th District.
Evidence
Mullin’s official site says he secured $3 million for the Burlingame Broadway rail crossing project and called the safety issue imperative.
His official homepage lists a June 11 infrastructure bill and the June 9 rail-crossing funding item, showing continued transportation work in the lookback window.
Assessments
As of June 15, 2026, Mullin appears to have materially pursued the promise but not completed it. His official House legislation page lists the SAFE Cross Act as one of the bills he is leading in the 119th Congress, showing a concrete legislative attempt on rail-crossing safety. But the available official evidence does not show that the SAFE Cross Act was actually included in a passed surface transportation reauthorization bill. Mullin's May 22, 2026 press release says other Mullin bills advanced through committee as part of the Surface Transportation Reauthorization process and were still awaiting full House action, which indicates the broader package was still in progress. His June 2026 rail-crossing funding work further shows effort on the issue, but funding for local grade-separation projects is not the same as securing SAFE Cross language in reauthorization. That makes this unresolved rather than delivered or failed.
