This grant is for the purpose of enhancing transit safety by assessing facilities for qualification testing of rail passenger equipment and signal systems. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) seeks proposals to identify all necessary tests for passenger rail equipment and their control systems to achieve service qualification. Furthermore, the initiative involves evaluating the Transportation Technology Center’s (TTC) current capabilities for conducting these tests. A key outcome will be defining essential upgrades to TTC’s facilities to meet testing demands, or, if certain tests cannot be performed there, recommending alternative testing sites. This cooperative agreement aims to ensure robust and comprehensive testing infrastructure for future rail transit safety.
