Part 225 Submittal Methods

What’s happening and why? 

FRA is in the process of working through the changes to Part 225 that will update the accident/incident data submission options available to railroads. These updates are needed to bring the reporting requirements up to date and aligned to industry standards.

How can I get more information? 

FRA is launching a series of virtual “Part 225 Technical Symposium” public webinars to exchange relevant technical information. Facilitated by FRA, these webinars will provide an overview of key concepts, approaches, and strategies that the FRA is evaluating as part of the updates to the regulation.  The sessions will be interactive, providing opportunities for participants to engage in more in-depth discussions.
