The Rail Transit Roadway Worker Protection (RWP) Rule Overview webinar presentation and recording are now available.   

On October 31, 2024, FTA issued the final rule for RWP in the Federal Register. Rail transit agencies nationwide will have one year to create a worker protection program geared at personnel who work on or around the tracks; implement comprehensive training for workers; and ensure that unsafe acts and conditions are reported. With this rule, FTA establishes minimum safety standards to prevent safety events for transit workers who may access the roadway in the performance of work.  

FTA hosted this webinar on November 19, 2024, to provide an overview of the rule and answer questions. If you have any additional questions, please contact FTASystemSafety@dot.gov for assistance.
