Wayside Department Activities: interviewed the SFMTA Deputy Director of Maintenance of Way, Track Supervisor and Safety personnel to determine if the Track Department Maintenance Procedures are being reviewed and/or revised systematically and being distributed to relevant personnel. Findings: None Comments: determined that SFMTA Maintenance Procedures are being reviewed and/or revised and being made available to the appropriate personnel. However, Maintenance Procedures are based on CFR 49 part 213, which is under nearly constant review by the Federal Railroad Administration. The results of these ongoing and constant reviews are available on the FRA’s website under the “e-library” compliance manual section. The title is: “Track and Rail Infrastructure Integrity Compliance Manual: volume II-Chapter 1-Track Safety Standards-Classes 1 through 5.” This online track compliance manual represents the most current track safety standards and track geometry inspection techniques. Staff recommends that SFMTA Deputy Director of Maintenance of Way and Track Supervisors regularly visit this online database to ensure that SFMTA Maintenance Procedures are in fact the most current procedures available. Recommendations: None. 2015 CPUC SYSTEM SAFETY REVIEW CHECKLIST FOR SAN FRANCISCO MUNICIPAL TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY Checklist No. 13-F Element Rules Compliance: Operations Control Center & SCADA Time 9 AM – 12 PM Location OCC – 355 Lennox Way Date of Audit October 27, 2015 Department(s) Safety Division Transit Services OCC
