Freight Rail Infrastructure Capacity Expansion Act (FRICEA)

 

Corona Chamber Position: SUPPORT

S. 1125 and H.R. 2116 the Freight Rail Infrastructure Capacity Expansion Act (FRICEA) currently being considered by Congress will increase freight rail transportation.

It is important for elected officials to enact policies that will save taxpayers’ money, increase opportunities for economic development within our communities, improve our air quality, build a more efficient transportation system, and reduce our dependence on oil.

Under the burden of increased freight truck traffic, our highways are crumbling and are overburdened. These trucks are lengthening our commute times, frequently endangering other highway passengers, and polluting our environment. Railroads have proven to be safer and cleaner.

No time will be better than the present to support this bill, particularly when you consider the goods movement is expected to grow rapidly while our current transportation infrastructure is deteriorating and insufficient to handle additional loads.

The FRICEA legislation would be a significant step in the right direction to ensure railways achieve a more equal footing to our highways and waterborne modes of transportation.
