This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rail transit generally has been one of the safest forms of public transportation. However, several recent accidents are cause for concern. For ex., a July 2009 crash on the Washington Metro resulted in 9 deaths. The Federal Transit Admin. (FTA) requires states to designate an oversight agency to directly oversee the safety of rail transit systems. The Dept. of Transportation (DoT) is planning to propose legislation that, if passed, would result in a greater role for FTA in regulating and overseeing the safety of these systems. This statement: (1) summarizes the findings of a 2006 report; and (2) provides preliminary observations on key elements DoT has stated it will include in its legislative proposal for revamping rail transit safety oversight. Charts and tables.

Book excerpt: The Federal Railroad Administration's (FRA) rail-safety oversight framework relies on inspections to ensure railroads comply with federal safety regulations. FRA inspects railroad infrastructure and operations, identifies safety defects, and may, if warranted, cite the railroads for violations of federal safety regulations. This book examines the overall framework that FRA, the states, and the railroads use to ensure rail safety; the extent to which FRA and the railroads assess safety risks and allocate resources to address those risks; and what challenges, if any, exist to FRA's current safety framework, and what ongoing and emerging issues FRA faces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the effectiveness of the Federal Railroad Administration's (FRA) Region 2 hazardous materials inspection program. GAO found that FRA Region 2: (1) did not establish inspection frequency goals and maintain complete, updated lists of hazardous materials inspection points; (2) did not inspect 70 percent of its inspection points in 1987 and 1988; (3) did not have enough inspectors to effectively carry out its inspection program; (4) inspectors prioritized inspections depending on risk, volume, type of hazardous materials, and safety history; and (5) inspectors did not have sufficient knowledge of the scope of FRA inspection responsibilities or information on hazardous materials shippers. GAO also found that: (1) rail system assessments required more resources to evaluate rail safety training and operations; (2) routine inspections most often identified such problems as improper shipping documentation and tank car unloading and identification; (3) FRA relied on the rail industry to enforce speed rules and provided little oversight of railroad speed enforcement actions; and (4) FRA based its hazardous materials routing policy on whether the advantages of reducing public exposure outweighed the disadvantages of diverting traffic to unsafe tracks.

This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. rail transit system is a vital component of the nation's transportation infrastructure, carrying millions of people daily. Unlike most transportation modes, safety and security oversight of rail transit is the responsibility of state-designated oversight agencies following Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requirements. In addition, in 2001, Congress passed the Aviation and Transportation Security Act, giving the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) authority for security over all transportation modes, including rail transit. This testimony is based on ongoing work for this subcommittee's committee-the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. I describe (1) how the State Safety Oversight program is designed; (2) what is known about the impact of the program on rail safety and security; and (3) challenges facing the program. I also provide information about oversight of transit systems that cross state boundaries. To address these issues, we reviewed program documents and interviewed stakeholders including officials from FTA, TSA, the National Transportation Safety Board, and
