Washington, D.C. 20594 National Transportation Safety Board. 2017. Amtrak Train Collision with Maintenance-of-Way Equipment, Chester, Pennsylvania, April 3, 2016. NTSB/RAR-17/02. Washington, DC. Abstract: On April 3, 2016, about 7:50 a.m. eastern daylight time, southbound Amtrak train 89 (train 89) struck a backhoe with a worker inside at milepost 15.7 near Chester, Pennsylvania. The train was authorized to operate on main track 3 (track 3) at the maximum authorized speed of 110 mph. Beginning on the morning of April 1, Amtrak had scheduled track-bed restoration―ballast vacuuming—at milepost 15.7 on track 2 on the Philadelphia to Washington Line. Track 2 had to be taken out of service between control points Baldwin (milepost 11.7) and Hook (milepost 16.8) for the 55 hour duration of the project. As train 89 approached milepost 15.7, the locomotive engineer saw equipment and workers on and near track 3 and initiated an emergency brake application. The train speed was 106 mph before the emergency brake application and 99 mph when it struck the backhoe. Two roadway workers were killed, and 39 other people were injured. Amtrak estimated property damages to be $2.5 million.

The college month campaign was reinvented with new initiatives and a name and a new Transit Rewards Program was developed. In addition to these new programs, the marketing team organized and implemented a New Haven Union Station redevelopment survey. Road Scholar During the month of September, CTrides organized and executed a back-to-school month campaign for college students. The campaign focused on transportation options for college students around their campuses and across the State of Connecticut. The central theme of the campaign was, “Become a Road Scholar.” This campaign required extensive preparation from the marketing team. One of the main brochures given out during this campaign highlighted the transportation options for each participating college and university. The brochures were customized outlines for each school and its surrounding transportation options. Working with the proper state agencies, the marketing team compiled the transportation information for each location, designed each customized brochure, and printed them for distribution at events. In addition to the customized brochures, t-shirts and other giveaway items were developed for promotion. Coordination between the marketing team, outreach team, and individual schools was imperative for the success of this campaign. Events were held at each of the 23 participating schools throughout the month. Transit Rewards The marketing team coordinated and launch a new rewards program called, Transit Rewards, during Quarter 3. This program is designed to benefit area businesses, restaurants and attractions from across the state and encourage transit ridership on Hartford Line, CTfastrak, and Shore Line East.

  • The Reality of Failing to Fund Transportation
    The Reality of Failing to Fund Transportation “I depend on VTD to get me to work and If I don’t have you guys to get me back and forth to work, what am I going to do? I’m struggling now at the $3.50 level and now am possibly I going to the $4 level – that’s $8 dollars a day to go back and forth to work! I really depend on this service; it is a good service. I hope everything works out. I really depend on VTD to get me where I have to go, and that is mainly to work.” Tonya C., Valley Transit District bus rider Prepared by the Connecticut Association For Community Transportation (CACT) 1 “A strong transportation system is critical to the economy of the state, and it’s certainly no coincidence that we have lost Connecticut-based businesses to those states that have such a transportation system.” Jim Gildea, President, Connecticut Commuter Rail Council Proposing a Dead State: Transportation & Infrastructure in 2018 and Beyond CACT has long been advocating for a strong Connecticut by supporting the criss-crossing lifeline infrastructure that is Connecticut’s transportation. Indeed, every year, more and more people rely on public transportation to get to and from work, to schools, universities, healthcare visits, shopping and to see family and friends. A vital and robust transportation network is fundamental to Connecticut’s prosperity: now and in the future. It just makes sense: if people can’t get to where they’re going, they’ll either not get there (loss of money, loss of spending, loss of time) or start the dangerous consideration that compared to other states, Connecticut lacks the necessary arteries to conduct business.
