The stray current corrosion issues associated with dc rail transit systems are well documented. However, the need for a concise guide document that can be used by transit agencies as a framework for the initial design of systems and for the ongoing maintenance of those systems has been identified. Assistance is provided by this guide to transit agencies in the establishment of key processes, as well as design and maintenance requirements, for the mitigation of stray current effects on new and existing dc rail transit systems. A knowledge base is provided by the guide for transit engineering personnel so that stray current problems may be reduced and appropriate proactive measures may be taken.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
