Title 49 CFR Part 270 requires that commuter and intercity passenger railroads establish and implement System Safety Programs (SSPs) to improve the safety of their operations and to ensure compliance with the rule. Each railroad will use its SSP/SSP Plan to proactively identify and mitigate or eliminate hazards at an early stage and the resulting risk on its system to reduce the number of railroad accidents, incidents, and associated injuries, fatalities, and property damage. A railroad has the flexibility to tailor an SSP to its specific operations. An SSP will be implemented by an SSP Plan submitted to FRA for approval. Under this information collection, FRA will audit a railroad's compliance with its SSP. This information collection is mandatory, submitted as needed, and there is a requirement for record keeping.
