Question 2

What is Federal Transit Administration looking for?

The Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP), administered by the Transportation Research Board and funded by the Federal Transit Administration, has issued an RFP titled 'Automation of Light Rail Transit Services' (Project A-59) to investigate how public transit agencies should approach deploying automation in light rail systems.  The contract has not yet been awarded and the project, valued at $171,930, is seeking qualified research performers to document the current landscape of LRT automation, assess operational and policy challenges, and develop a practical decision-making guidebook for agencies.
