 Let's utilize our elected officers for  general questions before contacting  the Local Chairman

Now, the FAA has announced a proposed rule that could significantly restrict drone operations around transportation facilities, including rail infrastructure. While this proposal is broader than rail alone, it's clear that the concerns raised by frontline transportation workers are finally getting attention at the federal level. This is progress, but the job is not finished. The FAA has opened a public comment period on this proposal through July 5, 2026, and this is the moment for railroad workers to make our voices heard.
