An open letter from Virginia Rail Policy Institute President Meredith Richards and Executive Director Michael Testerman to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on the Institute’s National Freight Strategic Plan Critique.
Dear Secretary Buttigieg:
The Virginia Rail Policy Institute congratulates you on your appointment as United States Secretary of Transportation. We wish you much success in transforming our nation’s transportation system to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
In the waning days of Secretary Elaine Chao’s term, the United States Department of Transportation issued the
National Freight Strategic Plan. Many years in the making, this plan falls far short of delegating any new mobility responsibilities to the rail freight industry over the next quarter century beyond the status quo and maintaining rail freight’s meager market share.

lobbyist in washington, d.c., i tried getting the clinton administration and republicans and democrats in congress to do more to provide more funds for safety aspects recording amtrak, and basically i was whistling in the wind, they wouldn t listen. there s a lot of blame to go around here for why that system is not in place after we ve been talking about it for more than 20 years. and joe boardman, the ceo of amtrak saying in the live news conference he expects it ll be completed in this quarter, before the end of the year. david, still the issue of recklessness or negligence or anything that rises to a criminal level for the engineer, what has to be proven? what has to come in order to reach that? well, first of all, everything else has to be ruled out. whether there was a mechanical failure, if the throttles were retarded and the train continued to speed, that would be critical as well as when you applied the brake and if it worked as well. there s a lot that goes into this, and

system. if joe boardman and amtrak tell mess they ll beat the deadline of december then i m confident that they will. let me ask you, because when you say positive train control, i spent half my morning reading about this. for people watching they may have no idea what that is. so let me have you just explain that what that is and why in such a busy area, you know this northeastern corridor, why it was absent on this particular curve. well positive train control in its simplest form overrides human error. it is built in along the trackside and on each locomotive so it can begin to slow and stop the train when human error occurs for whatever reasons. positive train control would obviously have prevented this accident but even positive train control is not infallible. but it would have probably prevented this accident. again, you start with that
