This information collection is new, and is entirely voluntary. FRA is proposing a one-time assessment which is intended to create a better understanding of information and communications technology (ICT) needs of and uses for specific railroad audiences; designed to understand the current state of railroading industry use and application of ICT. As such, this study asks broad questions about ICT. The information is intended to be useful in designing efforts at using ICT for FRA RD&T purposes. The main objectives in this study are to determine how Transportation, Yard and Engineer (TY&E) railroaders use ICT, identify ways to reach this population with future ICT-based education and communication efforts, and develop baseline awareness data on a FRA RD&T program. This assessment will focus on trainmen and enginemen through various rail associations. FRA will report on results in a written format, provide the cleaned data to www.data.gov, and use the data to inform internal program development where ICT application or use is a potential factor
The latest form for Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Needs Assessment Survey expires 2022-01-31 and can be found here.
