Spark Training Solutions, Railroad Safety & FRA Compliance Provider, Partners With 20×20 To Amplify Software Platform 
Rail Tasker™ is a SaaS railroad technology platform serving Class I, Short Line railroads and contractor companies for mandated safety, compliance and training.
Rail Tasker is a market-leading platform for the rail industry. It solves significant operational and compliance challenges facing all rail companies, improving safety for employees and the public.”— Clark Torgerson, Founder, 20×20 Solutions and former SpaceX Senior ManagerST. PAUL, MN, USA, May 31, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Spark Training Solutions, a railroad safety, compliance training and drug & alcohol testing company, announced a technology development partnership with 20×20 to expand its software application user base.
Spark Transportation Solutions supports the railroad industry with its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform including FRA-approved training, record keeping, on-the-job checklists and OSHA safety curriculum and can be custom tailored to every railroad operator’s needs.
The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), an agency in the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulates and enforces the safety of the nation’s railroad system. It is the responsibility of all railroads and contractors to adhere to FRA’s legislative, contractual and procedural rules. FRA continuously updates regulations and requirements that can be confusing and challenging for railroads to implement.
“It is exceptionally difficult for railroads and their contractors to keep up with FRA regulations, requirements and documentation,” says Katie Inouye, CEO and founder of Spark Training Solutions. “Rail Tasker is a powerful SaaS platform to easily demonstrate compliance proof so they can focus solely on their railway operations.”
The partnership with 20×20 empowers the Spark Training Solutions team to seamlessly integrate new FRA rules and regulations into the Rail Tasker technology platform so the railroad industry can safely and efficiently operate their railroads.
“Continuous software architecture and feature improvements along with stringent cybersecurity measures are crucial for serving customers,” says Clark Torgerson, Founder, 20×20 Solutions and former SpaceX Senior Engineering Manager. “We’re delighted to collaborate with Spark because they are exactly the kind of team 20×20 Solutions likes working with – incredibly knowledgeable and wholly focused on safety outcomes for their railroad customers.”
