RFP-UC06-44 - U. C. INTEGRATED ADVANCE TRAIN DETECTION/ARRIVAL PREDICTION PLAN

Summary of Specifications:
The Ulster County Transportation Council (UCTC) seeks experienced and qualified professional consultant services to develop an integrated real-time train detection and arrival prediction implementation plan to address emergency responder delay issues countywide. Frequent and unscheduled CSX railroad corridor freight movements in Ulster County contribute to an unreliable transportation environment in the Kingston and Poughkeepsie-Newburgh Urbanized Areas. As a result, vehicles, public transit, and pedestrians experience unpredictable and sometimes lengthy delays. Moreover, emergency response to incidents throughout the CSX railroad corridor area is impacted causing unreliable and sometimes lengthy emergency response. The purpose of this project is to develop an integrated real-time train detection and arrival prediction implementation plan for the CSX railroad corridor as one way of helping to reduce emergency responder delays.
