Dear BMWED Brothers and Sisters:

The BMWED is asking all members and their families to contact your Congressional representatives and urge them to cosponsor the “Secure Tracks Act,” which would prevent the carriers from reducing visual track inspections. The bill numbers are S. 3987 and H.R. 7784.

The bi-partisan bill is co-sponsored by Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV) in the House and Sens. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Josh Hawley (R-MO) in the Senate and would federally outlaw the railroads’ dangerous plan to replace visual inspections with automated track inspection tools.

This legislation is vitally important to not just BMWED members, but to the safety of all Americans. Therefore, we are asking all BMWED members and their friends and family to email, write or call their Congressperson and urge them to cosponsor the Secure Tracks Act so we can build enough support in Congress to pass the legislation.

To assist with our request for your help, please find the link to an Action Alert that you can use to contact your Member of Congress about the Secure Tracks Act.
