Political Quotes

In my opinion, CARB, in their development of the regulation, did not consider the interplay of their regulation with previous public investments made to reduce locomotive emissions.

Data does not exist that a reduction in crew size would improve rail safety whatsoever.

This legislation and ensuring proper inspections are being performed so that unsafe equipment is removed from the rails can make things safer.

According to CARB's own analysis, the rule would require both BNSF and Union Pacific to replace their entire fleet of locomotives nationwide to comply with the regulation, which will cost billions, with a B, billions of dollars, and will make freight transportation and the cost of goods drastically more expensive.
