During the last appropriations cycle, your outreach made a real impact, helping lawmakers understand exactly who would be affected by funding shortfalls.
The Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) is subject to government oversight due to its unique structure as a federally administered program that provides retirement, disability, and survivor benefits to railroad workers and their families.
The Association of American Railroads (AAR) is prioritizing industry convenience over public safety. In newly submitted comments to the U.S. Department of Transportation, AAR is urging the repeal of long-standing federal rail safety rules, including those that govern signal system inspections under 49 CFR Parts 234 and 49 CFR Parts 236, among others.
