New Map Shows Hazardous Train Derailments Pose an Urgent Threat to Communities

Press Conference

Date: June 7, 2023
Issues: Transportation

"Communities nationwide are subjected to derailments every day, and it's only a matter of time before the next disaster like East Palestine happens. This new map by the National League of Cities shows exactly why it is time for the Senate to get on board and pass the bipartisan Railway Safety Act."

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

"The bipartisan Railway Safety Act is trying to prevent disasters like East Palestine from happening in any other town in America again. We took the lessons of East Palestine and turned them into legislation…It is only fair that we come together as a country and make common-sense rail safety laws that are important to keeping our community safe. These are not red towns or blue towns. They are towns in which the mayors have decided that it's time that we give America more rail safety."
