Urges the Federal Railroad Administration to stop Class I freight railroads from using precision-scheduled railroading.

This New Jersey Assembly Resolution (AR 68) urges the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to halt Class I freight railroads from using "precision-scheduled railroading" (PSR), a strategy they claim improves efficiency but critics link to safety concerns. It specifically cites reduced mechanical staff, longer trains (some nearly doubled in length), and decreased locomotives/railcars (down 32% since 2011) as factors potentially increasing derailment risks, referencing a 2022 GAO study. The resolution notes the FRA has studied PSR safety risks but lacks specific regulations governing it, and asks the FRA to pause PSR implementation while safety data is reviewed. As a non-binding resolution, it directs the FRA to stop PSR use but does not create new federal law.
