[WASHINGTON, DC] – Congressman Steve Cohen (D-TN) and Congressman Jeff Denham (R-CA), members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, today praised Amtrak for making their Pets-on-Trains pilot program permanent. Last year, Congressman Cohen and Congressman Denham introduced the bipartisan Pets on Trains Act, now law, which allows families and passengers to travel with domesticated cats and dogs on certain Amtrak trains. This law also gives Amtrak the flexibility to develop the details of their pet policy to best fit the service and their customers.
[WASHINGTON, DC] – Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-09), a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee’s Subcommittee on Aviation, today announced that the Seat Egress in Air Travel (SEAT) Act (H.R. 4490) has gained bipartisan support in the House of Representatives. Congressman Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) signed onto the bill as a cosponsor. The SEAT Act would require the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to establish a minimum seat size and minimum distance between rows of seats for the safety and health of airline passengers.
