Indiana Congressman Rudy Yakym has joined a bipartisan effort to promote trailer safety and reduce trailer-related crashes. The measure designates June 7 through June 13, 2026, as National Trailer Safety Week.

Trailer Safety Awareness

Supporters of the resolution say trailer-related incidents contribute to hundreds of deaths and approximately 21,000 injuries nationwide each year. The resolution seeks to highlight the importance of safety checks, equipment inspections, and public education to help prevent crashes involving trailers.

Advocates say increased awareness and training can help reduce preventable accidents while improving safety on the nation’s roadways during the busy summer travel and recreation season.
