Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 : ウィキペディア英語版
Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008
The Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 is a United States federal law, enacted by Congress to improve railroad safety. Among its provisions, the most notable was the mandate requiring positive train control (PTC) technology to be installed on most of the US railroad network by 2015. This was spurred by the 2008 Chatsworth train collision the month prior to passage of the act. In October 2015 Congress extended the deadline to 2018.
== Background ==
Starting in 1990 the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) counted PTC among its "Most Wanted List of Transportation Safety Improvements."〔National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), Washington, DC (2010). ("Modifications to NTSB Most Wanted List; List of Transportation Safety Improvements after September 1990." )〕〔NTSB (2010). ("NTSB Most Wanted List of Transportation Safety Improvements - Implement Positive Train Control Systems." )〕 At the time, the vast majority of rail lines relied on the human crew for complying with all safety rules, and a significant fraction of accidents were attributable to human error.
In September 2008, Congress considered a new rail safety law that set a deadline of 2015 for implementation of PTC technology across most of the U.S. rail network. The bill, ushered through the legislative process by the Senate Commerce Committee and the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, was developed in response to the collision of a Metrolink passenger train and a Union Pacific freight train September 12, 2008, in California, which resulted in the deaths of 25 and injuries to more than 135 passengers.
As the bill neared final passage by Congress, the Association of American Railroads (AAR) issued a statement in support of the bill.〔Association of American Railroads, Washington, DC (2008-09-24). ("Statement by Edward R. Hamberger, President and CEO Association of American Railroads on Passage of the Comprehensive Rail Safety Bill." ) Press release.〕 President George W. Bush signed the 315-page Rail Safety Improvement Act into law on October 16, 2008.〔U.S. Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008, , , . Approved 2008-10-16.〕
