Petition for Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of Title 49 Code of

Use waiver of compliance addressing its

In its petition, HART seeks to extend

Use waiver, originally granted by FRA’s
Railroad Safety Board (Board) on
October 18, 2002, and extended in 2006,

rail-rail crossing) with a railroad
operated by CSX in Tampa, Florida.
Trains belonging to the National
Railroad Passenger Corporation
(Amtrak) also cross at this location. In
its petition, HART sites that there have
been no deficiencies with its operation
since the last approval in 2013 and that
HART, CSX, and Amtrak have
continually interfaced with FRA
Regional staff to monitor the safety at
that location.
Although no relief from any specific
regulations is sought, FRA has closely
monitored this crossing to ensure that
the HART streetcar personnel such as
operators and dispatchers regularly
communicate with CSX and Amtrak in
order to ensure safety at this location.
FRA’s regular audits at this location
focus on operating practices contained
in 49 CFR part 217, Railroad Operating
Rules, in order to ensure that CSX,
Amtrak, and streetcar crews are trained
properly at this location and understand
what to do if signals malfunction or
other issues arise.

written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
