Summary
The Secure Tracks Act requires main‑line tracks used for higher‑speed trains to be visually inspected at least twice a week and adds rules for automated inspection systems. Qualified inspectors must fix any unsafe condition right away, and the Transportation Secretary must update regulations to set inspection frequencies based on track class and traffic volume. The goal is to improve rail safety by ensuring defects are found and corrected promptly.
