borrowed from 2007 CTA document:
CTA’s goal to reach a State of Good Repair is not merely to replace equipment and
facilities in-kind, but to replace existing systems, where appropriate, with current,
modern technology. CTA has based its State of Good Repair estimates on the
following industry replacement and rehabilitation standards:
–
Buses should be rehabbed at 6 years and replaced at 12 years.
–
Railcars should be rehabbed at quarter- and mid-life intervals, and replaced at 25 years.
–
Rail stations should be comfortable and secure, and replaced or rehabbed at 40 years.
–
Rail lines should be free of slow zones, and should have reliable signal systems.
–
Maintenance facilities should be replaced at 40 years (or 70 years if rehabbed).
–
Service management systems should be modern and reliable.
•
A State of Good Repair is consistent with current technology and standard business
practices.
