Legislative Representatives are commonly known as the "Safety Officer" and are responsible for both, identify unsafe and dangerous conditions and assisting our State Legislative Office on Local, State and National issues pertinent with the Transportation industry. LR's work closely with local management along with Federal Railroad Administration personnel to review safety issues for members, and the communities that we live and work in.
