Today the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)
published a notice in the Federal Register (78 FR 11236-11237)
to announce their holding of a public forum in Washington, D.C. on February 27th,
2013. The forum will look at the implementation of the positive train control
(PTC) program by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA).
The Agenda
The forum will include three panel discussions. The
currently un-named panel members will include “representatives
from railroads, government, industry suppliers, labor unions, and the research
community”. The three panels will address:
• Positive Train Control Systems as
Envisioned vs. Implemented
• Current Status of Positive Train
Control (PTC) Regulatory Implementation
• Current Status of Positive Train
Control (PTC) Technical Implementation
Public Participation
The public is invited to attend the forum and the NTSB will
be web casting
the event. The NTSB will maintain an archived copy of the web cast for three
months following the forum. The Forum web page notes that there will be more
information on the web page in the near future.
