FTA selects six transit agencies for pilot program
Written by jrood
The Federal Transit Administration has selected six transit agencies from around the U.S. to participate in its Transit Asset Management pilot program and share $4 million to help take a more systematic approach to determining and anticipating when equipment needs maintenance or when it needs to be replaced. The program encourages urban, suburban and rural transit agencies to find new, cost-effective ways to manage and maintain the condition of their systems. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (San Francisco Bay area), Regional Transportation Authority (Chicago and Northeast Illinois), Utah Transit Authority, Valley Regional Transit (Meridian, Idaho) and Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation were selected to participate in the pilot program.
