Today's hearing is an opportunity to hear a variety of perspectives on the NTSB's final report, which includes more than 30 additional rail safety recommendations, several of which require congressional action.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provides record funding for these infrastructure projects.
I urge this committee to take long overdue action on rail safety so passengers and communities with rail in their backyards have a level of safety oversight and protection afforded to other modes of transportation.
