Brightline West has asked the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver to bypass some specific railroad safety regulations pertaining to the new high-speed trainsets they plan to operate between California and Nevada. These electric trainsets, which Siemens Mobility will manufacture, will adhere to certain alternative safety standards instead of the current ones. Brightline claims these trainsets include advanced features that negate the need for traditional safety equipment. The FRA doesn't see the need for a public hearing to decide on this waiver because similar exemptions have been granted before. Interested individuals may submit comments or ask for a public hearing before March 22, 2021.
