Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's Request To Amend Its Positive Train Control System

This document provides the public with notice that, on September 24, 2026, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) submitted a request for amendment (RFA) to its FRA-certified positive train control (PTC) system to install Construction Zone (CZ) Transponders on its Worcester Main Line (WML) segment during December 2026. The installation of the CZ is required to reconfigure PTC on the WML between Control Point (CP) 11 (BL 11.40) and CP-21 (BL 21.30). The CZ will result in the suspension of portions of MBTA's PTC system on the WML. As this RFA involves a request for FRA's approval of proposed material modifications to an FRA-certified PTC system, FRA is publishing this notice and inviting public comment on MBTA's RFA to its PTC system.

Safety Advisory 2025-02; Track Is Clear Determination During Shoving or Pushing Movements Across Highway-Rail Grade Crossings Equipped Only With Flashing Lights or Passive Warning Devices (Supplement)

On December 12, 2025, in response to a series of accidents involving operations requiring crew members to make "track is clear" determinations before shoving or pushing movements across highway-rail grade crossings (crossings) equipped only with flashing lights or passive warning devices, FRA published Safety Advisory 2025-02. Since publication, two additional accidents have occurred under similar circumstances, resulting in one fatality and one severe injury. FRA is issuing this Notice to provide details of these recent accidents, to reinforce the existing recommendations in Safety Advisory 2025-02, and to add two recommendations. Specifically, this notice adds recommendations 5 and 6, which recommend railroads conduct in-person briefings with all operating employees performing or overseeing shoving or pushing movements and review and evaluate internal instruction, training, and examination programs for such employees.

Surface Transportation Project Delivery Program; Ohio Department of Transportation Audit Report

This notice announces and solicits comments on the draft audit report for the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT). The Surface Transportation Project Delivery Program allows a State to assume FRA's environmental responsibilities for environmental review, consultation, and compliance under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for railroad projects should a State first assume NEPA responsibilities under the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). When a State assumes these Federal responsibilities, the State becomes solely responsible and liable for carrying out the responsibilities it has assumed, in lieu of FRA. This program mandates annual audits during each of the first 4 years of State participation to ensure compliance with program requirements.
