Federal Railroad Administration Re-launches Safety Advisory Committee

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) announced it will be re-launching its Railroad Safety Advisory Committee (RSAC) after more than a year of inactivity.

According to reports, the committee will start again two years from the date its creation is filed with congress. Originally created in 1996, the RSAC is made up of representatives from member organizations representing the railroad industry. Past members have included the Association of American Railroads, the American Public Transportation Association and the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association.

The committee last met in mid 2017. The re-formed version of the committee will operate under a different charter than its predecessor.
