102571 | Communications, Signals, & Technology Improvements (Various, SEPTA)
This program provides for improvements to SEPTA’s communications systems, signal systems, information technology infrastructure - including vehicle and facility video systems. As part of its capital program, SEPTA will replace its Computer Aided Radio Dispatch (CARD) System, install Positive Train Control on the Route 101/102 Trolley lines [Media-Sharon Hill Line (MSHL)], upgrade dispatching and scheduling systems, and implement a real-time vehicle arrival information display system. Rail signal modernization projects and interlocking improvements will enhance operational reliability and service quality. The annual Information Technology program provides replacement and upgrades of the Authority’s computer hardware, software and network equipment, such as servers, digital signage, and Enterprise applications. This program also provides capital dollars to support SEPTA’s transformative Efficiency and Accountability Initiative to improve how SEPTA functions as an organization on a day-to-day basis.
