Stop dangerous oil by rail

An oil train disaster has impacted nearly every region of the US recently putting lives and entire towns risk. The US Department of Transportation needs to protect US communities by banning tank cars carrying dangerous substances like crude oil and ethanol.

Why is this important?

There have been 70 oil train incidents just this year including the tragic explosion in Quebec that killed 47 people and destroyed a town. The Department of Transportation can prevent the next imminent oil train disaster by removing unsafe tank cars carrying crude oil and other dangerous materials from the rails.
