C³RS is Implementing Corrective Actions and Expanding Within the Railroad Industry

As the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) implements the Confidential Close Call Reporting System (C³RS), FRA has been sponsoring a Lessons Learned Team (LLT) that seeks to answer three questions: 1. What conditions are necessary to implement C³RS successfully? 2. What is the impact of C³RS on safety and safety culture? 3. What factors help sustain C³RS over time? Participants in the pilot program include Union Pacific Railroad (UP), Canadian Pacific Railway (CP), New Jersey Transit (NJT), and Amtrak. Each railroad’s study is five years long. The LLT is publishing Research Results Reports that provide the public with the evaluation’s findings. This report contains findings from across the sites using these data sources: (1) interviews with stakeholders and (2) redacted C³RS program data.
