"I'd support helping states establish "safety agencies" that is regulated locally, and let the FTA provide advise when requested, rather than the supreme boss. Local agencies are the experts on the systems, not a distant agency."My interpretation of the brief article states as much. Those agencies that have an effective system safety program in place and that is effective should have minimal interference from the Federal Government. Those that do not, better shape up. Nothing wrong with outside objective inspections from time to time. Michael |
