Support Bipartisan Rail Safety Legislation to Protect Communities and Environment

The East Palestine train derailment last year, which resulted in the release of toxic chemicals and forced evacuations, underscores the urgent need for improved rail safety legislation. In 2023 alone, the high number of train accidents demonstrated the inadequacy of current safety measures. It is crucial to prioritize the safety of communities over any other considerations. Legislation has been introduced to address this issue, and it is essential that it receives bipartisan support. The request here is clear: take immediate action to prevent similar incidents in the future by supporting and passing the necessary rail safety legislation. The wellbeing of our communities and the preservation of our environment depend on it.
