The potential for injury and entrapment in the event of an emergency in mass transportation facilities poses a significant risk to large numbers of people. NFPA 130, Standard for Fixed Guideway Transit and Passenger Rail Systems, offers the latest provisions for underground, surface, and elevated fixed guideway transit and passenger rail systems, including stations, trainways, emergency ventilation systems, vehicles, emergency procedures, and communication and control systems.



NFPA 130 is a valuable resource for helping station and company managers, supervisors, safety personnel, inspectors, and authorities having jurisdiction be aware of and comply with essential life safety provisions. The standard pertains to stations accommodating only passengers and employees of the fixed guideway transit and passenger rail systems and incidental occupancies in the stations.



Notable changes to the 2023 edition include:



Two new annexes: Annex G provides information regarding onboard fire suppression systems, and Annex H provides recommendations on the roles and responsibilities of authorities and designers, as well as guidance on projects that span multiple jurisdictions with potentially competing requirements

A new section on stops

Clarification of passive and active fire protection requirements

Updates on egress requirements and egress component performance

Revised platform load calculations, vehicle material testing requirements, and fire alarm system and command center requirements

Clarification on ventilation equipment listing, testing, and acceptance requirements, as well as changes to wiring requirements.



From requirements for fire alarms in enclosed stations and materials used as interior wall and ceiling finishings to scenarios and methodologies used for predicting fire profiles and calculating means of egress, NFPA 130, Standard for Fixed Guideway Transit and Passenger Rail Systems, is your comprehensive standard for helping to safeguard the railways.
