I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the Surface Transportation Board's (STB or Board) efforts over the past year.
NACD appreciates this subcommittee's leadership regarding the issue of rail supply chain issues.
Thanks in large part to this Committee's past efforts, Congress passed the STB Reauthorization Act of 2015.
Ninety-seven Members of the House, including Chairman Nehls, Ranking Member Payne, and Ranking Member Larsen, actually have already signed a letter requesting fiscal year 2024 appropriations funding for CRISI at the fully authorized level.
I support the important work that must be done to repair and support supply chains, but this work cannot come at the expense of health and safety of rail workers and vulnerable communities across the country.

We must correct this injustice. Rail workers doing essential work to keep our economy running should not be forced to choose between their health and a paycheck.
