National Transportation Safety Board Railroad Special Investigation Report: Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District Railroad Safety Assessment
In its special investigation, the Safety Board examined the safety aspects of NICTD's accident history and safety record, infrastructure and operating practices, internal safety programs, and corporate safety culture. With respect to the particular issues reviewed, the Safety Board's investigation found that NICTD's operating practices generally adhere to accepted safety principles, NICTD has an established system of internal safety programs, and NICTD's corporate culture generally encourages safe employee behavior. Nevertheless, the investigation indicated that NICTD has problems, which NICTD recognizes and is attempting to address, regarding the serious issue of grade-crossing safety. To enhance NICTD's safety practices, the Safety Board urges NICTD to adopt the recommendations made in this report regarding grade-crossing safety, signal upgrading, SSPP implementation, emergency response drills, and the role of the DST within the organization.
