Overview

The transportation of products and people is absolutely essential to our economy. It's the lifeblood of job creation and economic growth. We are at a critical period in the Nation's long and storied railroad history. There are severe consequences to failures in safety and reliability. We've seen them in Metro-North, the busiest railroad in the country, and the series of incidents have caused not only delays in convenience, economic harm, but also injuries and fatalities. The American public also may not realize the severe environmental consequences and economic costs that could result from repetitions of these failures in safety and reliability. It is the responsibility of railroads to make investments and improve policies and practices; change their cultures; and install new leadership, because the record has to be improved. Federal agencies also have a responsibility to oversee and scrutinize those practices and policies of railroads, and the leadership and management that is coming from our railroads.
