Establishes a grant program for installing suicide prevention nets and barriers on infrastructure.
The Barriers to Suicide Act of 2025 directs the Secretary of Transportation to create a grant program for installing evidence-based suicide deterrents, including suicide prevention nets and barriers, on covered locations such as bridges, buildings, parking garages, highway-rail grade crossings, and rail stations. The program prioritizes areas with high suicide rates. The federal share for project costs is capped at 80 percent. The Comptroller General must study the effectiveness of these deterrents and report findings to relevant committees within a year.
