In 2008, Congress mandated PTC implementation on the main lines of Class I railroads and entities providing regularly scheduled intercity or commuter rail passenger transportation over which any poisonous or toxic by inhalation hazardous materials are transported, or over which intercity or commuter rail passenger transportation is regularly provided. Since Congress extended the original PTC implementation deadline from December 31, 2015 to at least December 31, 2018, these grants will help make the nation’s rail system safer by facilitating deployment of PTC collision avoidance systems.
These grants will continue to facilitate the implementation of PTC that prevents certain train-to-train collisions, over-speed derailments, incursions into established work zone limits, and trains going to the wrong tracks due to improper switching. Many grant projects will help railroads achieve interoperability among the different PTC systems that railroads are deploying.
Seventeen Positive Train Control (PTC) grant projects are underway, and seven PTC projects have been completed under this grant program.
Fourteen Positive Train Control (PTC) grant projects are underway, and eleven PTC projects have been completed under this grant program.
11 Positive Train Control (PTC) grant projects are underway, and fourteen PTC projects have been completed under this grant program to facilitate the implementation of PTC.
In FY 2021, FRA completed and closed 4 PTC projects that facilitate the implementation of PTC that prevents certain train-to-train collisions, over-speed derailments, incursions into established work zone limits, and trains going to the wrong tracks due to improper switching. Many grant projects will help railroads achieve interoperability among the different PTC systems that railroads are deploying. FRA does not anticipate receiving future funding appropriations for this program.
In FY 2022, FRA anticipates completing 3 of the remaining PTC projects that facilitate the implementation of PTC that prevents certain train-to-train collisions, over-speed derailments, incursions into established work zone limits, and trains going to the wrong tracks due to improper switching. Many grant projects will help railroads achieve interoperability among the different PTC systems that railroads are deploying. FRA does not anticipate receiving future funding appropriations for this program.
FRA did not anticipate any further funding appropriations or grant obligations under this Assistance Listing Number. FRA anticipated closing all remaining grants under the program and archiving the Assistance Listing by the end of 2023. The last grant obligation under the Assistance Listing occurred in 2018.
FRA does not anticipate any further funding appropriations or grant obligations under this Assistance Listing Number. FRA anticipates closing all remaining grants under the program and archiving the Assistance Listing by the end of 2025. The last grant obligation under the Assistance Listing occurred in 2018.
