These safety features include an alerter system in the back and front of every train, automatic speed control to enforce speed restrictions, and cameras in all operator cabs. I welcome the MTA report as a first step to be followed by more specifics in future regular reports that will overhaul and upgrade clearly lacking safety practices and culture.” Press Contact Kamara Jones - 202-224-0309 Kamara_Jones@blumenthal.senate.gov | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
