FRA — Federal Railroad Administration

Parent: U.S. Department of Transportation. Domains in this note: railroads.dot.gov, fra.dot.gov.

What they regulate

FRA is DOT's railroad safety regulator. Economic regulation of freight railroads is primarily STB. Motor property brokers are FMCSA. An index row is not an FRA certification or STB decision. Prefer primary .gov tools.

Always prefer the live .gov site over a third-party mirror. Index ≠ endorsement.

How to verify

  1. FRA / railroads.dot.gov — Railroad safety and research — not STB economic regulation and not FMCSA MC authority.
  2. FRA resources — Safety programs and guidance; confirm commercial desk authority on the right register.

FRA vs STB?

FRA = safety/programs under DOT; STB = independent surface-transportation economic regulator. Different missions.
