Foxx Statement on Feinberg Nomination

June 1, 2015

“Sarah Feinberg has already proven to be a steady and capable leader at FRA, and especially during the tragic Amtrak derailment in Philadelphia, where she remained on site throughout the initial rescue and recovery efforts.  Throughout her time at DOT she has been immersed in issues related to rail safety, including the safe transportation of crude by rail.  Her attention to detail and passion for the work continues to impress not just me, but safety experts, Members of Congress and the staff at FRA.  FRA will benefit from her ability to cut red tape and get things done.”
