No evidence to support train crew size regulation

Reason Foundation comments on the Federal Railroad Administration's proposed rule on the minimum size of train crews.

In the Matter of Train Crew Size Safety Requirements

Docket No. FRA-2021-0032

87 Fed. Reg. 45,564

Due to the lack of evidence supporting a safety basis for this proposed train crew size rule and the likely environmental harms that would be generated if promulgated, the Federal Railroad Administration should withdraw the notice of proposed rulemaking.
