After the East Palestine train derailment, voters support several measures to improve railroad safety - including stronger safeguards for the transportation of liquefied natural gas. 89% of voters support strengthening regulations on railroad cars carrying liquefied natural gas (LNG) and other dangerous substances. 81% of voters support updating trains to electronic braking systems. 58% of voters, including majorities from both parties, say there are too few safety precautions for railroad companies that transport hazardous materials.
