Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Administration, Federal Railroad Administration, and Transportation Security Administration Enhance Rail Transportation Safety and Security for Hazardous Materials Shipments

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Administration, in collaboration with the Federal Railroad Administration and the Transportation Security Administration, is revising regulations to improve the safe and secure transportation of hazardous materials by rail. The updated requirements will require rail carriers to analyze safety and security risks, assess alternative routing options, and inspect rail cars for signs of tampering or suspicious items.
