I'm afraid that we are ceding the playing field.
Performance has gotten a lot better.
my state continues to top the list for grade crossing collisions and fatalities.
I wish I could say that this technology was in place and working, so that we wouldn't have to keep having these deadly accidents.
We have a responsibility to the traveling public to learn from these tragic crashes.
I'm not inclined to give any more additional time because, do we want more crashes that PTC could avoid?
Implementing PTC has been a priority for industry and the Department of Transportation (DOT).
When is enough, enough?
That's why I'm not inclined to give anyone additional time.
This is unacceptable.
That's why the industry as a whole must do a better job of implementing positive train control and get it done quickly.
