Definition
A federal railroad is a rail carrier in the United States that is controlled by the federal government. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) establishes and enforces safety regulations, administers railroad funding, and researches ways to improve rail transportation systems. The FRA is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation's intermodal transportation division, and its top executives are the Administrator and the Deputy Administrator.
The agency is responsible for all passenger and freight transportation that utilizes the nation's railway network. In addition the agency supports the rehabilitation of the Northeast Corridor rail passenger service and consolidates support from the federal government for rail transportation. Additionally, the agency oversees the operation and ownership of all intermodal facilities, such as tracks, right-of-way equipment and real property as well as rolling stock, and provides the overall coordination of federal rail transportation programs.
FRA's responsibilities include establishing through regulation, employers’ liability act fela (brush114.co.kr) following the notification and comment the procedure by which anyone can submit a report to the Secretary of Homeland Security concerning railroad security issues or inconsistencies. Additionally, the FRA creates policies and conducts inspections to determine the compliance of its rail safety laws in six technical disciplines that include track signal and train control, motive power and equipment, operating practices, hazmat, and highway-rail grade crossings.
The agency is in charge of ensuring that the railway transportation system is operating in a secure, efficient and sustainable manner. As a result, the agency requires railroads to maintain an environment that is safe for workers and provide the appropriate training to their employees. Additionally, the agency establishes and regulates railroad rates to ensure that the public receives fair prices for their transportation services.
The Federal Railroad Administration also enacts and enforces rules to stop discrimination against railroad employees. The agency also safeguards whistleblowers against retaliation from railroad companies. The agency also establishes an procedure through which railroad employees can make complaints regarding the company's actions.
The agency's main mission is to ensure the secure, reliable and efficient transportation of people and goods for a strong America now and in future. The FRA achieves this by regulating rail safety, managing railroad assistance programmes conducting research in support of improving safety in the railroad industry and national transportation policy as well as coordinating the development of rail networks and assisting the private sector manage railroads. In the past, railroads were large monopolies, with no competition. As a result, railroads often misused their position in the market. Therefore, Congress established the Interstate Commerce Commission and other regulatory agencies to limit the abuses committed by railroad monopolies.
Purpose
The federal railroad is a government agency that sets regulations, manages funds for rail and researches ways to improve the nation's rail transportation system. It supervises freight and passenger railroads and operates the nation's rail infrastructure. It is one of the ten agencies of the U.S. Department of Transportation. It is also responsible for maintaining and expanding existing railway systems, ensuring capability of the railroad industry to meet growing demand for freight and travel as well as providing leadership in national and regional system planning.
The government's primary responsibility in the field of rail transportation is safety. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is responsible for this, and it has several divisions responsible for overseeing the country's freight and passenger railway operations. The largest of them is the Office of Railroad Safety, which has approximately 350 safety inspectors and is responsible for conducting inspections to ensure compliance with regulations in six technical disciplines including track, signal and train control, motive power and equipment, operating practices hazardous materials and highway-rail grade crossings.
FRA has various departments, including the Office of Railroad Policy and Development. This department is responsible for programs aimed at enhancing passenger and freight rail transport, such as the Northeast Corridor Future. This department is responsible for the grants for railways and collaborates with other agencies to plan the nation's railway requirements.
Another important duty of the FRA is the enforcement of certain federal laws pertaining to railroads and their employees. This includes preventing railroads from discriminate against workers and ensuring that all injured railway staff are transported to the nearest hospital for treatment. Railroads are also prohibited from delay or refuse medical treatment for injured railway workers.
The FRA is the main regulator of the passenger and freight rail industry, but other agencies manage the economic aspects of rail transportation. The Surface Transportation Board, for example, is in charge of setting rates and governing the economics of the industry. It is also responsible for regulating railroad mergers lines sales, construction and abandonment. After the public consultation period the agency is responsible for establishing rules that permit anyone to report any alleged safety issues with rail.
Functions
Rails transport people and goods from and to cities in the developed world as well as villages in countries that are less developed. They transport raw materials to processing and manufacturing factories, and then the final products from these factories to warehouses and stores. Rail is a vital form of transportation for a number of essential commodities, including oil, grains, and coal. In 2020, freight railroads moved more than a quarter of all freight in the United America [PDFThe PDF file contains more information about.
A federal railroad operates as a business just like other businesses with departments for marketing, operations, sales and an executive department. The marketing and sales department works with potential and existing customers as well as clients to determine what services they need and what they need to cost. The operations department then develops rail services that meet these needs at the cheapest cost to generate revenue for railroads. The executive department oversees the entire operation and makes sure that each department is running efficiently.
The government provides support to railways in various ways, from grants to subsidized rates for government-owned transport. Congress also provides funds to help construct new tracks and stations. These subsidies are often a part of the revenue that railroads receive through ticket sales and freight contracts.
Amtrak is owned by the United States government. It is a quasi-public for-profit corporation, which has the United States Government as a major stockholder.
A key purpose of the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is to develop and enforce safety regulations for railroads. This includes regulating the mechanical state of trains and the health and safety of railroad employees. FRA also collects data on rail security to determine trends, areas that need improvement or regulatory attention and to identify trends.
FRA also has other projects to improve the safety and economy of railroad transportation in the United States. For instance, FRA is working to remove obstacles that could hinder railroads' implementation of positive train control systems (PTC). PTC is an emergency safety system that utilizes sensors and on-board computers to stop the train automatically when it gets too close to another vehicle or object.
History
In the 1820s-1830s, the first railroads in America were constructed, mostly in New England and Mid-Atlantic. The railroads increased industrialization and brought more food items to market in these areas. This helped the country become more self-sufficient and less dependent on imports.
In the latter part of the 19th century the railroad industry experienced a "Golden Age" that saw new, more efficient rail lines were built and passenger travel became popular. The government's efforts to expand the railroad system was a major reason. For example the government offered homesteaders land grants to encourage them to move to the West, and the Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads joined forces to construct the first transcontinental railroad, which enabled travel from New York to San Francisco in just six days.
In the first half century, however the demand for rail passenger services dwindled, while other modes of transport like planes and cars increased in popularity. In the meantime, the stifling of regulation made it difficult for railroads to compete. A string of bankruptcies, delays in maintenance and service cuts was the next step. The misguided federal rail regulations contributed to the decline.
Around 1970, federal government began loosening the restrictions on railroads' regulatory requirements. The Surface Transportation Board was established to oversee the economic aspects of the industry, such as mergers and railroad rates. The Federal Railroad Administration was also established, which is responsible for establishing rules for safety in rail and is one of 10 agencies within the U.S. Department of Transportation that supervises passenger and freight transportation.
Since then, the infrastructure of the railroads of the United States has seen a lot of investment. The Northeast Corridor, for example has been renovated to accommodate more efficient, faster and modern high speed ground transportation (HSGT) trains. There have also been efforts to create more efficient freight rail. FRA hopes to continue to work with all transportation agencies to ensure safe and reliable rails in the future. It is the responsibility of FRA to ensure that the transportation system of the United States operates as efficiently as possible.
