C2K Partners Awarded Consulting Contract for NYC Subway Car Program
C2K will design the train cars so they can be outfitted with both digital signage and other, static signage.
C2K Partners, a joint venture between LTK Engineering Services of New York and Jacobs Engineering Group-formerly CH2M Hill New York-has been retained by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority‘s New York City Transit (NYCT) to provide post-award consulting services for new, state-of-the-art R211 subway cars.
C2K will provide technical and program management support services to NYCT during the design, manufacturing, delivery, testing and acceptance of the new cars. Along with expanded doors designed to speed the boarding process and the installation of monitoring systems able to transmit information about each train’s performance, C2K will be integrating digital displays providing improved information about service, as well as other improved, static signage.
According to NYCT, the project calls for Kawasaki Rail Car Inc. to fill a base order of 535 cars, with options for up to 1,077 additional cars.
