Nationwide audit of transit systems’ fire safety sought

The board wants a nationwide audit of transit systems, with emphasis on trains that operate in enclosed tunnels.

The huge undertaking would be the first of its kind, Holloway said.

The FTA has not yet decided if it will investigate.

The agency said it “has not yet determined how an audit of this nature would be conducted or the potential impact such an audit would have on the transit riding public.”
