Washington Metrorail Safety Commission
The Washington Metrorail Safety Commission (WMSC) is a federal transportation safety oversight agency responsible for overseeing the safety of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) Metrorail system.
Project
Overview
Spruce was engaged by the WMSC to conduct comprehensive technology assessments and develop a strategic IT roadmap — evaluating the agency’s cybersecurity posture, website effectiveness, and safety oversight operations technology to prepare for upcoming federal safety inspection requirements.
The WMSC needed to modernize its technology systems and processes to meet upcoming requirements for data-centric, risk-based rail safety inspection methodologies. This required a thorough assessment of existing capabilities, honest identification of gaps, and a prioritized roadmap for improvement.
