Safety Management Teams
The Safety Management Teams (SMTs) serve as the Office of Railroad Safety’s main liaison with the senior leadership of the Nation's railroads. Each of the nine SMTs is assigned to either a Class I railroad or a group of railroads and provides safety oversight of the respective railroad system(s).
The SMTs also maintain relationships with associations and labor organizations, and they communicate and coordinate with FRA’s Staff Directors, Accident Analysis Branch, Audit Management Program, and other SMTs.
