Privacy - FRA - RSIS - PIA - 2025.pdf

The Railroad Safety Information System (RSIS) is a self-contained, government-owned and operated information technology (IT) system that houses the Federal Railroad Administration’s (FRA) principal monitoring system for railroad safety. Information includes records and statistics on railroad operational data, railroad injuries and illnesses, reportable railroad accidents such as derailments, collisions, highway-rail crossing impacts, inspection activities, and railroad defects and violations. It also serves as a repository of safety data on the nation’s highway rail intersections. RSIS fulfills the requirements of Section 552 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2005 (codified at 42 U.S.C. 2000ee‐2). This Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is conducted in accordance with the E-Government Act of 2002 because RSIS collects and stores Personally Identifiable Information (PII) on members of the public.
