Transit Maintenance Takes Preparation, Collaboration

The city of San Diego, California needs to cooperate with 8 different municipalities for planning and maintenance of passenger rail service, which contains two lines. The North County Transit District (NCTD) is responsible for these tasks, which include COASTER commuter rail, SPRINTER light-rail service and BREEZE bus service. The article discusses how the close coordination of maintenance and engineering staff benefits the customers and neighbors by ensuring that they receive the most current and accurate information. The philosophy of NCTD is to be a good neighbor to residents and businesses near the railroad because maintenance and construction projects may have temporary negative affects to the surrounding communities.
