This committee promotes commuter railroads and works to address their unique regulatory, legislative, and operational issues. The Commuter Rail Committee, through its Operators Subcommittee, is working on a very active agenda including: establishing Passenger Rail Standards and Recommended Practices; strengthening the Commuter Rail System Safety Program; and enhancing the ability of passenger railroads to access freight railroad rights of way. The committee also jointly sponsors, with the Rail Transit Committee, APTA's annual Rail Conference.
