Klobuchar-Backed Legislation to Improve Rail Safety Passes Commerce Committee
Press Release
Issues: Transportation Infrastructure
"No family should have to fear being woken in the middle of the night and told to evacuate because of a train derailment. Derailments across the country from Raymond, Minnesota to East Palestine, Ohio underscore once again why we must pass federal rail safety legislation. It's past time to put in place stronger rail safety standards and more accountability for violations. As a cosponsor of the bipartisan Railway Safety Act, I was glad to see this legislation advance and I'm working with my colleagues to make sure it becomes law."
