Expressing support for the designation of the week of June 1 through June 7, 2025, as "National Trailer Safety Week" in the United States, and supporting the goals and ideals of National Trailer Safety Week to educate American motorists about the importance of proper towing techniques and maintenance.
H. Res. 468 is a non-binding House resolution introducing a symbolic designation of National Trailer Safety Week for June 1–7, 2025. It expresses support for educating American motorists about safe towing practices and proper trailer maintenance, and it emphasizes the importance of partnerships among industry stakeholders (suppliers, dealers, manufacturers) and end-users to raise awareness. While it notes that a large number of light- and medium-duty trailers are in use and references ongoing safety outreach by industry groups, the resolution itself does not create new rules or authorize funding; it simply endorses the week and its educational goals. The measure frames trailer safety as a national concern, highlighting the role of education through dealers and manufacturers and encouraging participation in events that promote regular inspection, maintenance, and safe operation of lightweight trailers. It aims to bolster awareness and collaboration rather than impose regulatory requirements.
