  • 2025-07485 — Notice of Petition for Waiver of Compliance
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 17993
    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) District has asked the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for an exception to certain safety rules about trains. They want permission to modify the steps on their trains to reduce the risk of injury to employees getting on and off. Currently, the existing steps sometimes force workers to step too far down to the ground. SMART has tested a new design that reduces this step but needs special approval because it doesn't include a specific kind of support structure. The public can comment on this request until May 30, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    SMART trains want to change their steps so workers don’t have to jump too far, and they need special permission to do it. They are asking everyone to share their thoughts about this idea by the end of May.

The unions representing the affected employees support this request. The FRA is accepting public comments on this petition until May 30, 2025.

    Simple Explanation
