Introduce a bill requiring the Department of Transportation and Environmental Protection Agency to recommend ways to reduce train noise and vibration near homes and provide cost estimates for each recommendation.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), a senior member of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the chair of the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit, today announced she will introduce a bill that would require the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to jointly submit recommendations to Congress on how to reduce train noise and vibration near homes, as well as cost estimates for each recommendation.

Norton announced she would introduce legislation directing DOT and EPA to recommend train noise and vibration reduction measures with cost estimates.

Congress.gov identifies Eleanor Holmes Norton as Democratic Delegate for the District of Columbia, District At Large, serving in the 102nd-119th Congresses, and lists a Sponsored Legislation category for her member activity.

The official Congress.gov member record is the relevant federal source for whether Norton introduced a bill after the 2012 election. Searches of official and web-indexed congressional/House records for Norton-sponsored legislation using the promise terms, including train noise, rail noise, vibration, DOT, EPA, and cost estimates, did not locate any bill matching the promised DOT/EPA train-noise-and-vibration recommendation study. I found no official evidence that the promised bill was introduced in the 113th Congress or later.
