Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Application purpose: NCTD plans to replace obsolete equipment (VPI HXP-3 and Grade Crossing Processor (GCP3000)) with current generation wayside and crossing controllers.
The project will be designed and constructed to provide wayside interface units (WIU) for future PTC implementation.
Activities performed: Funding from this project will be utilized for signals design for the entire Escondido subdivision from MP 99.3 through MP 121.7.
Funding from this project will also be utilized for the purchase, construction, and installation of signal equipment between MP 99.5 to MP 111.40.
Expected outcomes: Malfunctions in the aging railroad communication system have contributed to service disruptions on the Sprinter corridor.
These disruptions make service less reliable, making the system less attractive to discretionary riders and limiting mobility for transit dependent populations.
The replacement of signal system equipment will improve reliability and reduce service disruptions.
Intended beneficiaries: Project would benefit the transit-riding public in San Diego County, including low-income, minority, housing burdened, and linguistically isolated communities by increasing the reliability of transit services.
Subrecipient activities: NCTD does not intend to fund sub awards.
