Missouri SB972 mandates advanced detection and monitoring systems at new railroad crossings to enhance safety.
Missouri SB972 amends state law to require advanced detection and monitoring systems at all new railroad crossings constructed after August 28, 2026. These systems must detect and classify objects, analyze behavior in real time, and generate alerts for potential hazards. The Missouri Department of Transportation will develop standards, identify priority crossings, and provide technical assistance to rail operators. The department will also create a program for grant funds and advanced detection systems, reporting biennially on their effectiveness.
