construction, to 48 percent by 2022," the report states.
UITP says behind this push toward automation is the strong case
supporting its implementation.

mobility scenario, automation provides companies with a lever to

THE LIGHT AT THE END OF
THE TUNNEL FOR PTC AND
THE CERTIFICATION OF
SSO PROGRAMS.
COMMUTER RAILROADS ARE BEginning to look beyond 2020 and

of positive train control (PTC). All
railroads required to implement PTC
either met the December 31, 2018, statutory deadline for fully implementing
PTC systems or submitted requests
demonstrating they met or exceeded
the statutory criteria for an alternative
schedule of Dec. 31, 2020.

Administration PTC progress reports from the first quarter of 2019,
five commuter railroads, including Port Authority Trans-Hudson,
Metrolink, North County Transit District, Northstar Commuter Rail and
Sound Transit's Sounder trains had
fully implemented an FRA-certified
and interoperable PTC system on all
required main lines. Interoperability

interoperability with 19 of 65 host
railroad PTC systems.
In another safety milestone this
year, 31 State Safety Oversight (SSO)
Programs in 30 states were certified

SSO Program had to meet several federal statutory requirements, including
