FTA issues safety advisory for right-of-way workers

摘要

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) issued a safety advisory guidance document concerning the protection of right-of-way (ROW) workers, as well as a request for information from transit agencies and State Safety Oversight (SSO) agencies that will be used to review the nation's rail transit right-of-way worker safeguards. The action follows National Transportation Safety Board recommendations issued Dec. 19, 2013, urging the FTA to issue a directive to all rail transit agencies to require redundant protection for railway right-of-wav workers.
