Days earlier, the strain bubbled into public view after the panel’s most recent safety investigation prompted Metro to say the commission was using the investigation to needlessly hinder it from safely fulfilling the region’s transit needs.
Members of Metro’s regulatory agency expressed concern Tuesday about inconsistencies in how the transit agency follows its own safety policies after it kept a train operator on the job who lied to investigators about why he ignored warnings and nearly hit track workers.Transit officials did not respond to questions about the case as tensions resurfaced between the two agencies.
The commission on Friday allowed Metro to move forward with less-frequent wheel inspections. But on Tuesday, it was clear that safety commissioners had qualms about Metro’s safety commitment.Safety commission staff members presented commissioners with reports of several incidents over the past few months, including a July 16 incident in which a track inspection crew on the Red Line had to rush from the path of a speeding train.
“If we were to see repeat occurrences like this, boy, that would call into question the approach [Metro] is taking with its employees,” Rush said. On Tuesday, Metro spokeswoman Sherri Ly said the retraining efforts were “in accordance with the [safety commission] directive,” adding, “we continue to work with the [safety commission] as our safety partner as we improve service for our customers and the region.”
