There is a need to ensure that the safety performance of the commuter rail industry is appropriately assessed and analyzed, and that the results are documented and effectively communicated to the commuter railroads, government, industry associations, and other interested parties. To meet this need, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Office of Safety and Security, working cooperatively with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Office of Safety, has performed this Commuter Rail Safety Study. The objectives of this study are to: Identify the most frequent, highest risk causes of commuter rail accidents; Direct FTA and FRA oversight and technical assistance resources to address these high-risk causes; and Accelerate industry awareness, to promote identification and implementation of activities and practices that have the potential to mitigate the largest risks.
