CAPITAL METRORAIL PROGRESS REPORT – OCTOBER 19, 2009
Work is underway on the two primary categories that remain in the MetroRail Red Line project, which were identified during last month’s Hazard Analysis/Risk Assessment:
- Issues requiring programming changes to the Centralized Traffic Control (CTC) system
- Issues requiring operating procedure modifications
See the rail startup update presented at the September 28 Board of Directors meeting for additional information about the remaining steps.
Capital Metro anticipates that the programming and procedural changes will be complete by January. At that time, we will perform a full system validation to verify the integration of all components based on the changes. We estimate the last steps, including the final validation and a review by the FRA, to be complete in the first quarter of the year.
"I am committed to the successful completion of this project, and we have taken the necessary steps and put the appropriate resources in place. MetroRail will make a positive difference in this community and will be a major step toward a comprehensive regional transportation system for central Texas."
--Doug Allen, Capital Metro Interim President/CEO
