KC Rail is making a change. We are updating our Right-of-Way (ROW) training. This new program will be Roadway Worker Protection (RWP). This is a fundamental change to comply with a new Federal Transit Administration (FTA) mandate.

​

• All contractors must attend the new RWP course before December 1, 2026.

  • If you currently hold a valid ROW card you will still need to take the updated course by December 1, 2026.

​​​

• There are Two Levels of RWP training for Sound Transit employees and contractors. Sound Transit has assigned you a level based on the work you preform.

  • Level 1 training must be completed by Sound Transit Fare Ambassadors.

  • Level 2 training must be completed by all other Sound Transit employees and contractor who are required to take RWP.

​

• Level 1 RWP will consist of an online Zoom training followed by an online assessment.

​

• Level 2 RWP will consist of 2 Parts of training.

  • Part 1 is an online Zoom training.

    • Each attendee must sign up with an individual email address.

    • If multiple participants share the same workstation during the Zoom training, camera must be on to verify participants.

    • Participants will need to engage with activities during the Zoom. This may include, giving ‘reactions’, speaking in breakout rooms, and or/typing in the chat.

  • Part 2 is a mandatory in-person field training regardless whether the attendee lives in the area.

    • Attendees must complete and pass Part 1 prior to taking Part 2.

    • This training will take place in the Northgate neighborhood north of Seattle. You will receive specific instructions regarding where to meet when you register for training.

    • Please bring your PPE: Hi-Vis Vest, safety boots, eye protection, and any other PPE required by your company/employer.
