At the request of METROLINK, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), with the Federal Transit Administration and the American Public Transportation Association, formed the ad hoc Crash Energy Management Working Group in May 2005. This group developed recommendations for crush zones in passenger rail cars for METROLINK to include in its procurement specification. The Volpe Center provided the Working Group with technical information from the research on passenger rail equipment crashworthiness it is conducting for FRA. METROLINK released its specification, including the recommendations from the Working Group, on September 16, 2005, as part of an invitation for bid.
