Project Description

SEPTA intends to use these funds for capital trackage agreement payments to Amtrak for the period beginning on 7/1/2018 and ending on 6/30/2019. Amtrak Trackage is the required right-of way use arrangement between Amtrak and SEPTA for SEPTA to run service over Amtrak rail lines and provides the funds for Amtrak to maintain the tracks in a state of good repair. The agreement between SEPTA and Amtrak for Northeast Corridor Access and Services has been in effect since January 1983 and was recently amended in 2016. Either party has the right to terminate the agreement by giving a minimum of 120 days notice. Annual increases for service take effect at the beginning of the Federal Fiscal Year, October, and are based on a variety of factors. The current annual budget for Northeast Corridor Access and Services track is $49,608,300. It covers access to Amtrak tracks and required maintenance for SEPTA rail routes. The agreement also covers propulsion power, but that is a separate cost and is not included in this grant.

Project Benefits

SEPTA operates several routes over Amtrak tracks. This Capital Trackage Agreement allows SEPTA to operate Regional Rail service on those tracks and provides the funds for Amtrak to maintain the tracks in a state of good repair.

Additional Information

None provided.

Location Description

SEPTA leases Amtrak trackage throughout the entire Regional Rail service area.

Project Description

This project will fund the FY 2019-2020 Rail Vehicle Overhaul Program. The Vehicle Overhaul Program provides for the systematic replacement or upgrade of systems on SEPTA’s rolling stock. Vehicles are scheduled for overhauls during their service lives based on vehicle type. A vehicle must receive periodic overhauls if it is to optimize fleet reliability, service quality, efficient performance and passenger comfort. The advanced scheduling of vehicle preventive maintenance allows SEPTA to purchase material and produce rebuilt components in an efficient and effective manner. The Vehicle Overhaul Program will allow SEPTA to continue its overhaul of rolling stock, thus ensuring continued safe and reliable service. Specific VOH program activities vary by vehicle fleet but generally include safety critical items such as vehicle propulsion systems and brake systems.

Project Benefits

The Vehicle Overhaul Program enables SEPTA to continually rehabilitate rolling stock, which ensures safe and reliable service.

Additional Information

None provided.

Location Description

The Vehicle Overhaul Program rehabilitates rolling stock that operates throughout the entire SEPTA service area.

Project Description

This project funds the debt service associated with the reconstruction of the Wayne Junction Intermodal Facility Project. The Wayne Junction Intermodal Facility was constructed at the turn of the 20th Century. This project restored the station’s historic integrity and modernized its structure to provide a more accessible and environmentally friendly facility for local residents. The project provides for the enhancement of passenger amenities such as lighting, signage, shelters, audio & visual public announcement system, windscreens, benches, HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) systems, and sanitary systems.

The FTA first issued a Letter of No Prejudice (LONP) on March 31, 2011 permitting SEPTA to use future Fixed Guideway Modernization formula funds (49 USC § 5309) and/or successor funds for the repayment of principal, interest, financing costs, and other related permissible costs associated with SEPTA`s proposed 2011 bond issuance. This bond issuance, which is not to exceed 18 years and the final debt service payment scheduled for June 30, 2028, is being used to fund the reconstruction of the Wayne Junction Intermodal Facility and the acquisition of 120 Silverliner V Regional Rail Cars. On June 2, 2011, the FTA approved changes to the initial LONP (letter attached in Project Details section of TEAM). Per the June 2, 2011 letter, FTA is permitting SEPTA to enter into a bond agreement not to exceed 18 years with a total aggregate principal amount not to exceed $252 million and a total debt service amount not to exceed $400 million. In October 2017, SEPTA advance refunded a portion of this bond agreement to reduce future debt service payments. The final maturity date of the newly issued Series 2017 Bonds was unchanged from the Series 2011 Bonds.

SEPTA anticipates requesting approximately $12.6 million annually in Section 5337 or successor funds for the duration of the debt service re-payment, which is not to exceed 18 years. Of the $12.6 million in Section 5337 funding to be requested annually, $1.3 million will be associated with the Wayne Junction Intermodal Facility.

Project Benefits

This project rehabilitated and modernized Wayne Junction Intermodal Facility to make the station fully ADA accessible and bring it to a state of good repair.

Additional Information

None provided.

Location Description

The project work was completed at Wayne Junction Station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Project Description

SEPTA intends to use these funds for a debt service payment associated with a bond issuance for the Silverliner V Regional Rail Car Acquisition. The Silverliner V Rail Car Acquisition project provides for the acquisition of 120 new rail cars for SEPTA Regional Rail service. These new electric multiple-unit (EMU) cars have replaced the Silverliner II and III rail cars, and also have provided additional cars to supplement the regional rail car fleet in response to current and projected ridership increases.

The acquired vehicles fully comply with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements and federal and state regulations regarding safety features and systems. New U.S. Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) passenger car strength and safety requirements have been incorporated into the design of the vehicles. The car design also incorporates recent technology and proven components and enhanced passenger amenities to ensure overall safety, security and passenger comfort.

Passenger amenities include larger windows, wider aisles, a state-of-the-art climate control system and enhanced seating arrangement with more two-passenger seating. Each car is also equipped to accommodate two wheelchairs. The combination of aisle width, placement of wider doors and interior seating arrangements provides a more pleasant environment for passenger movement and seating. The new cars have electronic exterior and interior destination signs and voice annunciation of train destination and upcoming station stops. The enhanced public address system enables SEPTA`s Control Center to broadcast messages directly to customers on trains. Cars are also equipped with a passenger emergency intercom system. In addition, the new cars are more accommodating for customers with bicycles during off-peak hours.

On March 23, 2006, a contract was awarded to United Transit Systems (UTS) for 104 rail cars. The SEPTA Board executed an option for 16 additional cars on April 26, 2007. Four of these cars were funded by the State of Delaware. Assembly of the production cars took place in Philadelphia.

Project Benefits

The project supports the acquisition of 120 new rail cars that replaced rail cars that had exceeded their useful life.

Additional Information

The FTA first issued a Letter of No Prejudice (LONP) on March 31, 2011 permitting SEPTA to use future Fixed Guideway Modernization formula funds (49 USC § 5309) and/or successor funds for the repayment of principal, interest, financing costs, and other related permissible costs associated with SEPTA's 2011 bond issuance. This bond issuance is being used to support SEPTA`s procurement of the Silverliner V Regional Rail Cars and the reconstruction of the Wayne Junction Intermodal Facility. On June 2, 2011, the FTA approved changes to the initial LONP (letter attached). Per the June 2, 2011 letter, FTA is permitting SEPTA to enter into a bond agreement not to exceed 18 years with a total aggregate principal amount not to exceed $252 million and a total debt service amount not to exceed $400 million. On August 22, 2017 SEPTA requested FTA's acknowledgement of its intent to execute an advance refunding of the Series 2011 bonds. The FTA provided this acknowledgement in a letter dated September 12, 2017 (attached). In October 2017, SEPTA advance refunded a portion of this bond agreement to reduce future debt service payments. The final maturity date of the newly issued Series 2017 Bonds was unchanged from the Series 2011 Bonds.

SEPTA anticipates requesting approximately $12.6 million in Federal Section 5337 or successor funds annually for the duration of the debt service re-payment, which is not to exceed 18 years. Of the $12.6 million in Section 5337 funding to be requested annually, approximately $11.3 million annually will be associated with the Silverliner V Regional Rail Car Acquisition.

Location Description

The Silverliner V Rail Cars are utilized throughout the entire SEPTA service area.

Project Environmental Findings

Finding: Class II(c) - Categorical Exclusions (C-List)

Class Level Description

Class II(c) consists of projects called categorical exclusions (CEs) which are known not to have, either individually or cumulatively, a significant environmental impact on the human or natural environment and are therefore categorically excluded from the requirement to prepare an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement. Class II(c) does not require documentation.

Categorical Exclusion Description


Type 08: Maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction of facilities that occupy substantially the same geographic footprint and do not result in a change in functional use, such as: improvements to bridges, tunnels, storage yards, buildings, stations, and terminals; construction of platform extensions, passing track, and retaining walls; and improvements to tracks and railbeds.

Project Description

SEPTA intends to use these funds for the installation and integration of Positive Train Control (PTC) equipment on its Regional Rail lines.

In October 2008, Congress passed HR 2095 - `Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008` requiring, among other things, that all carriers providing `intercity rail passenger transportation or commuter rail passenger transportation` have a system of Positive Train Control in operation by December 31, 2015.

SEPTA is installing an Advanced Civil Speed Enforcement System (ACSES) on all Regional Rail lines. Working in unison with the recently installed Automatic Train Control (ATC) technology, these two systems will provide the functionality of a Positive Train Control (PTC) system mandated by RSIA. The PTC system can enforce permanent and temporary civil speed restrictions and train stops through a network of transponders, while maintaining the continuous track monitoring advantages of the ATC system.

Project Benefits

The project will provide a fully functioning and interoperable Positive Train Control system that will enhance safety throughout the entire SEPTA Regional Rail network.

Additional Information

None provided.

Location Description

The installation and integration of PTC equipment benefits SEPTA's entire service area.

Requirements to Remember for ADA Compliance in Construction Projects
The ADA Standards issued by the Department of Transportation (DOT) apply to facilities used by state and local governments to provide designated public transportation services, including bus stops and stations, and rail stations. Other types of facilities covered by the ADA are subject to similar ADA Standards issued by the Department of Justice. Both the DOT and DOJ standards are based on the United States Access Board ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG).
DOT’s ADA Standards (2006) are consistent with the Access Board’s updated ADA (and ADAAG) guidelines but includes a few additional requirements concerning:
• Location of Accessible Routes (206.3)
• Detectable Warnings on Curb Ramps (406.8)
• Bus Boarding and Alighting Areas (810.2.2)
• Rail Station Platforms (810.5.3)
The complete ADA Standards for Transportation Facilities can be found at the US Access Board Website: (ADA Standards for Transportation Facilities)

Requirements to Remember for: New Construction of Facilities
Sixty percent of all public entrances to the facility must be accessible. If there are only two entrances, both must be accessible. (DOT ADA Standard 206.4.1.)
For rail projects, no flange way gap can be greater than 2.5” where passenger circulation paths cross tracks at grade (i.e. a street-level pedestrian crossing over streetcar tracks). (DOT ADA Standard 810.10.)

Accessible routes that coincide with, or are located in the same area, as general circulation paths and elements such as ramps, elevators, and fare vending and collection must be placed so as to minimize the distance that wheelchair users and other persons who cannot climb steps must travel in comparison to the general public. (DOT ADA Standard 206.3.)

Curb ramps must have detectable warnings. (DOT ADA Standard 406.8.)

Bus boarding and alighting areas must be in compliance with the ADA-ABA Guidelines ( Section 810.2), which address surfaces (sturdy), dimensions (96” long x 60” wide); connection to sidewalks, streets and pedestrian paths; slope (not steeper than 1:48); signs; and public address systems. (DOT ADA Standard 810.2.)

Station platforms must be coordinated with the vehicle floor height. (DOT ADA Standard 810.5.3.)

?
Requirements to Remember for: Alterations or Additions to Facilities
Altered or added portions of the facility must be made accessible. (DOT ADA Standard 201 and DOT ADA Regulation 49 C.F.R. 37.43(a)(1).)
The path of travel to the altered or added portion of the facility must be made accessible, to the maximum extent feasible. (DOT ADA Regulation 49 C.F.R. 37.43(a)(2) and DOT ADA Standard 202.3.)

If the path of travel cannot be made accessible, the grantee must submit to FTA an analysis demonstrating that the cost of making the path of travel accessible is disproportionate to (i.e., > 20%) the cost of the alterations or additions to the primary function area. (DOT ADA Standard 202.4 and DOT ADA Regulation 49 C.F.R. 37.43(e)(1).)

If the path of travel cannot be made accessible, the grantee must submit to FTA an analysis demonstrating that site-specific conditions prevent you from making the path of travel accessible. Include relevant diagrams and maps. (DOT ADA Standard 202.4 and DOT ADA Regulation 49 C.F.R. 37.43(b).)

The information provided above is intended as technical assistance and applies only to the project as described. Should the project scope change or new information on the project be provided, FTA may require a re-evaluation of the project information as it relates to ADA and require additional information. This confirmation is not an express or implied promise of project compliance with the ADA.
