to Administrative Actions by the Department), §7.93 of this subchapter
(relating to Administrative Review), and §7.94 of this subchapter
(relating to Escalation of Enforcement Action), if there is good cause
for the executive director, or the executive director's designee,
to believe that the operations of a rail transit agency poses an imminent
threat to the safety of the general public, the executive director
or the executive director's designee immediately will notify the governing
body of the rail transit agency.
(b) If the rail transit agency is unable to immediately
eliminate the threat identified under subsection (a) of this section,
the executive director will rescind approval of the public transportation
agency safety plan and order the rail transit agency to cease all
operations of its rail fixed guideway public transportation system
until the rail transit agency eliminates the threat.
(c) If the rail transit agency fails to cease operation
of its rail fixed guideway public transportation system in accordance
with an order issued under subsection (b) of this section, the department
may seek a temporary injunction to enforce the executive director's
order.
