Today, while in Ohio, FRA Administrator Amit Bose & @PHMSA_DOT Deputy Administrator Tristan Brown gathered with first responders and labor reps to listen to their first-hand perspectives & discuss actions to increase safety for emergency responders, rail workers & communities.
@USDOTFRA @PHMSA_DOT While this is a tragic event, derialments occur every single day. From minor to major, only thing that decides that is luck or the lack thereof. We should not be putting the public safety in the hands of luck or writing it off as a "cost if doing business" #RailroadReform
@USDOTFRA @PHMSA_DOT Did the discussion include hiring more rail maintenance workers, investing in heat sensing and other technologies to replace the current archaic systems that cause unsafe conditions for rail workers and the public? #RailroadReform #FELA
