5.3 Systems/Facilities Integration and Coordination Plan<br />

In order for Readiness for Revenue Operations to be successful, a Systems/Facilities Integration and<br />

Coordination Plan must be in place to assure that coordination among all stakeholders is accounted for,<br />

including adherence to time constraints, access for testing, and having complete documentation<br />

necessary to thoroughly test every facet of the transit system. For example if proper coordination with<br />

a stakeholder such as the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) is not implemented early, there can be<br />

serious delays to the testing schedule. Examples of tests involving coordination with the UPRR<br />

include:<br />

• Clearance test for the shared transit/UPRR track along the transit corridor.<br />

• Pedestrian crossing warning system test at stations.<br />

• Grade crossing warning system control tests at intersections with both transit and UPRR<br />

tracks.<br />
