Editorial Ohio Can End Death Traps
The Chronicle-Telegram urges state sharing of costs for railroad crossing protection after a deadly Elyria crash. It endorses Metcalf-Malone House Bill No. 317 to fund 85 percent by the state, 15 by railroads, via license fee add-on, and a 50-50 maintenance split, with crossings protected by hazard priority. The paper argues timely installation across about 5,000 unprotected crossings within 15 years and calls legislators to act.
