Federal Railroad Safety Program

The Federal Railroad Safety Program is an initiative by the U.S. government aimed at improving the safety of railroads across the nation. It establishes regulations and standards for rail operations, equipment, and infrastructure to prevent accidents and injuries. The program promotes inspections, safety training, and the use of advanced technologies, ensuring that railroads operate safely for workers and the public. By enforcing these guidelines, the program seeks to reduce the risks associated with train travel and freight transport, ultimately enhancing the safety and reliability of the rail system.
