The objective of this study is to report the state of knowledge and practice regarding wayside worker protection programs at selected transit agencies and to document the state of the practice, including lessons learned and gaps in information. The research revealed that, in the wake of these incidents, some rail transit systems took aggressive actions to form task forces or reconstitute "Rules Committees" to revisit ROW rules and procedures and make necessary improvements, enhance employee training programs, and implement more comprehensive auditing and investigative processes.

The development of a rail transit track worker protection program guidance document, including a "Model Plan" that outlines, in some level of detail, the steps in developing or updating a program; core practices of a program; optional practices that could be considered, depending on specific hazards or characteristics; training elements; incident tracking methods; and other components. This document would help create a more detailed baseline for a track worker protection program than is currently available and help increase industrywide consistency in program implementation and management.
