The Federal Railroad Administration
The Federal Railroad Administration is one of the DOT's 10 agencies involved in intermodal transportation. Its purpose is to ensure the safe and secure transportation of goods and people.
FRA field inspectors examine the railroad track signals, train control and track systems as well operating practices. They also investigate complaints.
Definition
Federal railroads are rail carriers in the United States controlled by the federal government. Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is a part of the U.S. Department of Transportation, formulates and enforces regulations governing railways, administers railroad funds, and conducts research to improve railway transportation. The FRA is one of the 10 agencies within the U.S. Department of Transportation which is responsible for intermodal transportation, and its chief executive officers are the Administrator and Deputy Administrator.
The agency is responsible for all freight and passenger transport that is made possible by the railway system of the United States. In addition, the agency also supports the rehabilitation of the Northeast Corridor rail passenger service and consolidates government support for rail transportation activities. Additionally, the agency oversees the management and ownership of all intermodal facilities such as tracks, right-of-way equipment real property, and rolling stock, and also provides the overall coordination of federal rail transportation programs.
The FRA's responsibilities also include the establishment through regulation, and after an opportunity for comment, a procedure by which anyone can notify the Secretary Homeland Security any railroad security issues or issues. The agency also formulates policies, conducts inspections and evaluates the compliance of its railroad laws in six technical disciplines, including track signals, track and employers’ Liability act fela train control locomotive power and equipment; operating procedures; hazmat and fela claims railroad employees highway-rail grade intersections.
The agency has the responsibility to make sure the rail transportation system is secure, economical and environmentally sustainable. The agency also requires railroads to provide a safe working environment and provide adequate training for their employees. The agency also sets and enforces railroad prices to ensure that the public is charged in a fair manner for transportation services.
The Federal Railroad Administration also enacts and enforces rules to prevent discrimination towards railroad employees. They also shield whistleblowers from retaliation by railroad carriers. The agency also establishes an procedure through which railroad employees can file complaints about the actions of the company.
The main goal of the FRA is to ensure the secure, reliable and efficient transportation of people and goods for a stronger America today and in the future. The FRA accomplishes this by overseeing the safety of railroads, regulating railroad assistance programs, conducting research to support the improvement of safety for railroads and national rail transportation policy as well as coordinating and assisting with the development of rail networks, and helping the private sector manage railroads. In the past, railroads controlled the market, with very little competition. The railroad industry was able to abuse its dominance in the market as a result. Congress established the Interstate Commerce Commission, as well as other regulatory agencies, to limit railroad monopolies' abuses.
Purpose
The federal railroad is a federal agency that establishes regulations, manages funds for rail and studies ways to improve the nation's rail transportation system. It is responsible for the railroad infrastructure of the United States and oversees passenger and freight railroads. It is one of ten agencies of the U.S. Department of Transportation. It is also responsible for maintaining and expanding the current rail infrastructure.
Safety is the government's main responsibility in the field of rail transportation. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is responsible for this, and it has several divisions that manage the country's passenger and freight railway operations. The Office of Railroad Safety is the largest of these, with around 350 inspectors. It is responsible for conducting safety inspections in six different technical disciplines, including track, signalling, train control as well as motive and equipment, operating procedures, hazmat and highway-rail grade crosses.
FRA has additional departments, including the Office of Railroad Policy and Development. This department oversees programs aimed to improve passenger and freight railway transport, including the Northeast Corridor Future. The department also is responsible for the grants that are made to railways and works with other agencies in planning for the nation's rail requirements.
Another important function of the FRA is the enforcement of certain federal laws regarding railroads and their employees. This includes stopping railroads from using their power to discriminate against workers and ensuring that injured railway employees are taken to the nearest hospital for treatment. It also prohibits railroads to delay or refuse medical treatment for injured railway workers.
The FRA is the primary regulator of the freight and passenger rail industry, but other organizations manage the economic aspects of rail transportation. Surface Transportation Board is responsible for determining rates and governing economics in the sector. It is the regulatory authority for railroad mergers, line-sales construction and abandonment. After a period of public consultation the agency is responsible for establishing regulations that allow anyone to file a complaint about any alleged rail safety violations.
Functions
Railroads carry people and goods to and Fela Federal Employers Liability Act (Telegra.Ph) from cities in developed nations, as and remote villages in less developed countries. They transport raw materials to manufacturing and processing factories, and the finished products from these factories to warehouses and stores. Rail is a vital form of transportation for a number of essential commodities like oil, grains and coal. In 2020, freight railroads transported more than a quarter of all freight volume in the United America [PDF(PDF).
Federal railroads operate just like any other company, with departments for marketing, sales, operations and an executive department. The department for marketing and sales collaborates with potential and current customers to determine what kind of rail services they need and how much they will cost. The operations department then creates the rail services that meet these needs at the lowest cost to earn money for the railroad. The executive department oversees the entire operation and makes sure that each department is operating efficiently.
The government provides support to railways through a variety of ways, including grants and subsidized rates for government-owned traffic. Congress also provides funds to build new stations and tracks. These subsidies are often a part of the revenues 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 major role of the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is establishing and enforcing safety regulations for railroads. This includes regulating the mechanical condition of trains, as well as the safety and health of railroad employees. FRA also gathers and analyzes information on rail safety to identify trends and areas that require improvement or more regulatory attention.
FRA also works on other projects to improve the economy and safety of rail transportation in the United States. For instance, the agency is working to remove obstacles that could delay railroads' introduction of positive train control systems (PTC). PTC is a safety technology that utilizes sensors and computers on board to stop a train at the moment it is too close to an vehicle or object.
History
In the 1820s and 1830s, the first railroads in the United States were built, primarily in New England and Mid-Atlantic. The railroads significantly accelerated the industrialization process in these regions, and also brought more food products to the market. This development allowed the country to become more self-sufficient and less dependent on imports from abroad, which in turn resulted in a solid economic base.
In the latter part of the 19th century the railroad industry experienced an "Golden Age" in which new, more efficient rail lines were constructed and passenger travel became popular. The government's efforts in expanding the railroad system were an important factor. For example the government provided homesteaders land grants to encourage them to settle in the West and the Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads joined forces to construct the first transcontinental railroad, which allowed travel from New York to San Francisco in just six days.
However in the early part of the 20th century, demand for passenger railroad services declined and other modes of transportation such as automobiles and planes gained in popularity, while the stifling of regulations hindered railroads in their ability to compete economically. The industry was plagued by a series of bankruptcies as well as service cuts and delayed maintenance. Uninformed federal rail regulations also contributed to the decline.
Around 1970 the federal government began to loosen the regulatory burdens on railroads. Surface Transportation Board was created to oversee economic issues such as railroad rates and mergers. The Federal Railroad Administration was also established, which is responsible for establishing rail safety regulations and is one of 10 agencies in the U.S. Department of Transportation that oversees freight and passenger transportation.
Since then, the infrastructure of the railroads of the United States has seen a lot of investment. The Northeast Corridor, for example was rebuilt to accommodate more efficient, faster and modern high-speed ground transportation (HSGT) trains. There have also been efforts to create more efficient freight rail systems. FRA hopes to continue to work with all transportation agencies to ensure safe and reliable rails in the future. The agency's role is to ensure that the nation's transport system runs as efficiently as possible.
