                               RESOLUTION

 Expressing support for the designation of the week of May 31 through
            June 6, 2026, as ``Our Roads, Our Safety Week''.

Whereas the movement of goods and people is the backbone of the United States
        economy, with commercial motor vehicles transporting billions of tons of
        freight annually;
Whereas road safety is a shared responsibility involving passenger vehicle
        drivers, truck drivers, bus drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians sharing
        the road;
Whereas, every year, thousands of lives are lost in crashes involving large
        trucks and buses, many of which are preventable through increased
        awareness and better driving practices;
Whereas the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration developed ``Our Roads,
        Our Safety'', a national safety campaign to encourage road users to
        share the road safely with large trucks and buses;
Whereas the ``Our Roads, Our Safety'' campaign--

    (1) supports the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's mission
of reducing crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving large trucks and
buses; and

    (2) educates all drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians on the importance
of sharing the road;

Whereas public awareness of the unique safety challenges faced by commercial
        vehicles, including large blind spots, long stopping distances, and wide
        turns, is essential to reducing traffic fatalities; and
Whereas ``Our Roads, Our Safety Week'' serves as a call to action for Federal,
        State, and local partners to collaborate on initiatives that protect
        every individual on our nation's roadways: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the designation of an ``Our Roads, Our Safety
        Week'';
            (2) recognizes the vital role that commercial motor vehicle
        drivers play in our daily lives and the importance of ensuring
        their safety and the safety of those who share the road with
        them;
            (3) encourages the Department of Transportation and the
        Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to continue their
        outreach and education efforts; and
            (4) urges all road users to learn the ``Rules of the Road''
        for sharing space with large trucks and buses to ensure that
        everyone reaches their destination safely.
