Railroad Safety

The Arizona Corporation Commission also regulates railroad safety, and recently the Commission has made it clear that we are serious about keeping railroad crossings safe. When one railroad company refused to make needed safety upgrades to several of their crossings in the Valley, the Commission levied an unprecedented fine against them, in the amount of $100,000.

We must continue to safeguard our railroad crossings and tracks and ensure that the railroad companies are doing all in their power to make necessary improvements.
