Beyond Compliance: How Safety Certification Drives Safer, Smarter Transit

APTA’s Beyond Compliance: How Safety Certification Drives Safer, Smarter Transit webinar, Oct. 30, introduced APTA members to the fundamentals of Safety Certification—what it is, why it matters, and how it adds value—while showcasing MDOT MTA’s real-world experience. A recording is now available.

The webinar highlighted Maryland DOT (MDOT) MTA’s Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) project, where new technology played a central role in risk reduction and safety certification. The presentation explored CBTC’s impact on train throughput and protections, how Hitachi’s CENELEC certifications aligned with FTA’s safety certification process, and highlighted best practices from APTA’s Recommended Practice on Safety Certification.
