NJ Transit’s Positive Train Control (PTC) system has been certified by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) as meeting the Dec. 31 deadline for implementation.

Recently introduced legislation would identify and address cases of blocked railroad crossings by examining more than 200,000 grade crossings across the country.

As of Sept. 30, 2020, positive train control (PTC) is in operation or revenue service demonstration (RSD) on 99.6 percent of the 57,537 route miles subject to the federal mandate, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) said.
