Help ensure fire protection and life safety in mass transit systems. Apply the 2017 edition of NFPA 130: Standard for Fixed Guideway Transit and Passenger Rail Systems.
Originally developed to help reduce the potential for entrapment and injury of large numbers of people who routinely use mass transportation facilities, NFPA 130 specifies the latest fire protection and life safety requirements for underground, surface, and elevated fixed guideway transit and passenger rail systems.
It’s now more important than ever before for station and company managers, supervisors, safety personnel, inspectors, and AHJs to be aware of the latest NFPA 130 provisions for:
- Stations
- Trainways
- Emergency ventilation systems
- Vehicles
- Emergency procedures
- Communications and control systems
NFPA 130 requires users to apply NFPA 101®: Life Safety Code® and NFPA 72®: National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code with important modifications. Changes in this edition include:
- New definitions and modified requirements for materials used as interior wall and ceiling finishes
- New requirements for enclosed stations to be equipped with a fire alarm system
- New requirements for enclosed trainways to be equipped with an emergency communication system
- Revised Annex B with new guidance on establishing noise levels in order to maintain a minimum level of speech intelligibility through the emergency communication system
- Revised Annex C including a modified example showing means of egress calculation
- New Annex H presenting key information on fire scenarios and methodologies used for predicting fire profiles
NFPA 130 pertains to stations accommodating only passengers and employees of the fixed guideway transit and passenger rail systems and incidental occupancies in the stations.

NFPA 130 shall cover life safety from fire and fire protection requirements for fixed guideway transit and passenger rail systems, including, but not limited to, stations, trainways, emergency ventilation systems, vehicles, emergency procedures, communications, and control systems.
Vehicle maintenance facilities are not addressed by this standard because requirements for that occupancy are provided in other codes and standards. Where vehicle maintenance facilities are integrated or co-located with occupancies covered by this standard, special considerations beyond this standard shall be necessary.
Fixed guideway transit and passenger rail stations shall pertain to stations accommodating only passengers and employees of the fixed guideway transit and passenger rail systems and incidental occupancies in the stations. This standard establishes minimum requirements for each of the identified subsystems.
This standard shall not cover requirements for the following:
- Conventional freight systems
- Buses and trolley coaches
- Circus trains
- Tourist, scenic, historic, or excursion operations
- Any other system of transportation not included in the definition of fixed guideway transit system (see 3.3.63.1) or passenger rail system (see 3.3.63.2)
- Shelter stops
A shelter stop is a location along a fixed guideway transit or passenger rail system for the loading and unloading of passengers that is located in a public way and is designed for unrestricted movement of passengers. A shelter stop can have a cover but no walls or barriers that would restrict passenger movement.
To the extent that a system, including those listed in 1.1.3(1) through 1.1.3(6), introduces hazards of a nature similar to those addressed herein, this standard shall be permitted to be used as a guide.
