Support Railway Safety Legislation
Advocate for Safer Railways
In February 2025, Representative Emilia Sykes introduced H.R. 971: RAIL Act to prevent derailments, improve inspections, and strengthen hazardous material transport regulations.
- No time limits on critical rail safety inspections
- Mandatory hotbox detectors every 10 miles on Class I railroads
- Increased penalties for safety violations
- New safety rules for crew sizes and hazardous shipments
Backed by IAM and IBEW, the RAIL Act prioritizes rail worker and public safety.
