An Act relative to railroad crew transportation

SD 1022 establishes safety and operational regulations for third-party vehicles transporting railroad crews in Massachusetts. It directly affects railroad companies contracting with transportation providers, the providers themselves, and their drivers by requiring the Rail and Transit Division to set rules on driver qualifications, vehicle safety, 4-hour safety training, $5 million insurance coverage, and passenger safety notices. The bill mandates complaint systems for employees, data collection on safety incidents, and penalties including 3-year driver disqualifications for serious traffic offenses. It does not apply to vehicles owned by railroads themselves but focuses solely on contracted transportation services.
