SEPTA could begin Positive Train Control roll out in February

摘要

The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) believes it can begin rolling out Positive Train Control (PTC) on its network in February if all goes according to plan. Referencing the three-year extension of the PTC implementation deadline, SEPTA wrote in an update, "While this will give some transit systems a longer window to complete infrastructure improvements, for SEPTA, the extension effectively resets the clock on our deadline for the final phases of the project." SEPTA said it has received its safety plan back from the Federal Railroad Administration and has submitted a revised implementation plan.
