RTA eyes newest rail cars in 40 years, plus four new possible rapid routes
The 60 new cars, based on the Siemens S200, could contain a list of state-of-the-art features, like heated windows, WiFi and ADA accessibility.
"It's a long time coming—it's like Christmas for the RTA," CEO India Birdsong-Terry said at Tuesday's meeting."Forty years is, like, most people's careers. It's a whole generation." "We're talking new LED lighting systems, [the] operator cab ergonomically set up, CCTV systems, more camera systems, event reporters, WiFi—all the technological packages that didn't exist 40 years ago are now in here," Mike Schipper, deputy general manager of engineering and project management, told the board."And again, the crashworthiness, which is huge."The one-size-fits-all nature of the new Siemens cars could, the RTA predicts, lead to four new routes come 2027.
Caver, with his Powerpoint animation handy, said that such lines could transport Van Aken riders directly to the airport. Or Buckeye-Shaker riders straight to the—still inoperable—Waterfront Line stop at East 9th.
