Tri-Rail FRA plans

Greetings,

Pursuant to the Florida Sunshine Law, I request the following records, as pertain to the Tri-Rail passenger rail system:

1. The current conductor certification/qualification plan submitted to and approved by FRA in accordance with 49 CFR 242 (or predecessor regulations).

2. The current engineer certification/qualification plan submitted to and approved by FRA in accordance with 49 CFR 240 (or predecessor regulations).

3. The current passenger train emergency preparedness plan (aka "E-plan") submitted to and approved by the FRA in accordance with 49 CFR 239 for your passenger rail service.

The requested records will be immediately and freely available to the public on muckrock.com, and this request is not being made for any commercial purpose.

I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available, or CD-ROM if not. In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Joseph Durso

Greetings SFRTA records officials,

This request was originally submitted on your online request form in October. I attempted to reach you by telephone on December 2nd, and received a voicemail back on December 4th indicating the request could not be located, after which I re-submitted the request via the online form. I have yet to receive any acknowledgement that this request had been received by your agency. Having found this email address on one of your online documents, I am attempting to follow up via a different means. Please find the text of the request below. I look forward to hearing from you when you are in receipt of this request.

Thank you,

Joseph Durso
