Rail & Transit
The work window is the whole job.
GoCrew manages workforce lodging and deployment coordination for rail and transit programs — track, signal, and structures work. FRA hours-of-service respected. Roadway-worker and e-RAILSAFE status accounted for. Lodging staged to the track-time window, not the calendar. Rotating gangs, multi-subdivision programs, 5+ rooms nightly.
The operating reality
Track time is scarce. Hours-of-service is law. Lodging touches both.
Track time is the scarcest resource on the railroad. A gang gets a window, the window moves to nights, and the lodging booked for a day crew is now wrong by twelve hours and forty miles. Miss the window and it does not come back for weeks.
FRA hours-of-service is not a guideline. A crew bunked ninety minutes from the right-of-way burns rest hours commuting, and a roadway worker fatigued on live track is exactly the risk the regulation exists to prevent. Where the crew sleeps is a compliance variable.
Federally funded transit work adds an audit layer. A program office asks for a defensible record of every gang, every night, against the work plan and the invoice — and the answer either reconciles or it becomes a finding.
Procurement closed the booking. Nobody kept the operation accurate after it. The roadmaster ends up running lodging instead of running the gang.
What we operate
What GoCrew manages.
01
Operational accountability
One desk across every subdivision, every track-work gang, every contractor. When a work window moves, GoCrew owns the lodging recovery — not your roadmaster.
What this prevents: a worker with a lapsed e-RAILSAFE or roadway-worker-protection certification dispatched to live track.
02
Centralized visibility
Every gang, every facility, every dollar, every exception on one screen — synced to the track-time calendar, not a month-end report.
03
Exception handling
A work window shifts to nights. A gang doubles for a tie-replacement surge. Captured at the point of change, before it lands in the next invoice.
04
Crew support
Track work runs the window it is given — nights, weekends, whatever the railroad grants. So does the desk that supports it. 24/7, every subdivision.
05
Field coordination
Gangs move along the line on the work plan. Lodging realigns in real time and respects FRA hours-of-service, so the crew is legal and rested when track time opens.
06
Invoice governance
Three-way match per gang, per night, per location. Defensible to your CFO, the railroad customer, and the audit on a federally funded transit program.
07
Hotel performance management
In partnership with StayCertified, an independent certification partner, facilities are vetted against operational standards — proximity to the right-of-way, security posture, crew suitability, rest quality for night-shift gangs. Star ratings do not hold a work window.
Is GoCrew built for your program?
Four signals tell you
in thirty seconds.
- 01You run 5+ rooms a night across the program — not occasionally
- 02Your gangs rotate along the line on shifting work windows
- 03Your program lives across multiple subdivisions and no one portal sees all of it
- 04You work in constrained markets where track-side rooms are scarce and accountability matters more than rate
If one or more is true, request an Operational Review.
