There are significant limitations to what the City of Richmond can do to enforce existing federal and state laws and legislate new laws controlling train horn noise due to federal and state preemptions. For more detailed information, see Click Here for Train Horns – A Modern Public Health Plague.

I am asking the City Council to pass a resolution requesting help from our state and federal legislators to control train horn noise and enforce existing laws and regulations.

If you agree, please try to come to tomorrow’s City Council meeting to support this. If you can’t make it, please email City Council members and tell then you support it.
