The Washington State Rail Safety Oversight Program Standard sets clear expectations and obligations for the WSDOT State Safety Oversight Program and the rail transit agencies it oversees. The Program Standard contains requirements for rail transit agencies in Washington state, including accident notification, corrective action plans, and oversight of internal safety reviews.
