Several legislators, including Rep. Emilia Sykes, Rep. Donald Payne, and Rep. Andre Carson, have been involved in introducing and supporting bills related to improving rail transportation accessibility and safety. The bills aim to reform Clean Water Act permitting, increase access to rail transportation for people with disabilities, and improve FEMA consideration of wildfire mitigation projects. Rep. Sykes has been named the lead sponsor of the RAIL Act, advocating for its passage to enhance rail safety in communities. Additionally, Rep. Molinaro's bipartisan bill, the Think DIFFERENTLY Transportation Act, has been sent to the House Floor to address accessibility issues in Amtrak trains and stations.
I'm thankful to the @TransportGOP committee for sending my Think DIFFERENTLY Transportation Act to the House Floor. Amtrak’s management still has work to do to make trains & rail stations accessible to individuals of all abilities. My bipartisan bill will make this happen. https://t.co/061fUB5cm2

I co-led a bill today to found out if Amtrak trains and stations are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. We need to make sure public transportation is available to ALL Americans. https://t.co/0MaqzA1H25 https://t.co/K5ymDZJbOM
