Capital Metro authorizes CEO to move forward with positive train control system project

The Capital Metro Transportation Authority board of directors moved one step toward meeting a federal mandate to implement an enhanced automatic train control system on Monday. The board approved a resolution authorizing the CEO to finalize and execute a design-build contract with Modern Railway Systems Inc. for finalizing the design, installation, testing and commissioning of the positive train control, or PTC, system. It also approved the PTC system’s supporting fiber optic communication system on Capital Metro’s commuter rail corridor. It will cost up to $65,675,000.
