“The East Palestine community has shown its resilience while continuing to recover from the devastating train derailment that changed its residents’ lives forever,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. “In partnership with the Trump-Vance Administration and Congress, USDOT will work to advance rail safety. As President Trump has pledged, we will ensure the people of East Palestine are not forgotten, and we will use every resource to prevent other communities from enduring what they experienced.”
