Over the past several weeks, TRA team members have traveled to West Virginia to conduct training on new Public Transportation Agency Safety Plans (PTASPs) that will go into effect at bus agencies around the country on June 20, 2020.
In allocations for the fiscal year 2020-2021, the list for which Congress released this month, the FTA has granted several high-profile transit system extensions significant dollar amounts to increase their coverage, as well as projects dedicated to performing state of good repair maintenance.
Public transportation remains a critical link in the mobility network of the San Francisco Bay Area, yet with the area’s current growth patterns, many large organizations are rethinking transportation options for their employees.
2019 saw new advances in the transportation industry move at lightning speed, yet some of the most significant changes for public transit in particular came from increased interest and investment from both federal and municipal governments.
Highlights from TRA's year include expanded projects with state safety oversight clients, new work with state DOTs on Public Transportation Agency Safety Plans, and international travel to assist with fire testing for new rail vehicles.
2019 was a year of growth for TRA, as we witnessed the transformation of our headquarters space at 1608 Walnut Street, added four new staff members to our roster, and expanded our client support to new locations and types of work.
TRA's work in Florida not only covers rail systems regulated by the FTA, but also airport peoplemover systems, commuter rail systems, and bus agencies.
