Equal treatment by Government for all carriers, INCLUDING RAILROADS.
Before the passage of the Staggers Rail Act the railroads were very closely and unfairly regulated.
With the passage of the Staggers Rail Act of 1980 and its implementation by the Interstate Commerce Commission, many regulatory restraints on the railroad industry were removed.
This provided the industry increased flexibility to adjust their rates and tailor services to meet shipper needs and their own revenue requirements.
As a result, more than 20 years after deregulation, the railroad industry’s financial health has improved significantly, service to rail customers has improved while overall rates have decreased, and rail safety, regardless of the measure, has improved.
