The webinar will introduce APTA members to the fundamentals of safety certification—what it is, why it matters, and how it adds value—while showcasing Baltimore’s real-world experience.
Topics covered include what safety certification is; why it is required; the steps in the process; and best practices from APTA’s Recommended Practice on Safety Certification.
The webinar will highlight MDOT MTA’s CBTC project, where new technology played a central role in risk reduction and safety certification. The presentation will explore CBTC’s impact on train throughput and protections, and how Hitachi’s CENELEC certifications aligned with FTA’s safety certification process.
