What are the responsibilities of the Mobile Command Center (MCC)?

The Mobile Command Center (MCC) plays a crucial role in roadway worker protection by managing the operations of roadway work crews. This involves coordinating activities, ensuring safety protocols are followed, and maintaining effective communication among workers and with on-site supervisors. By overseeing the work crews, the MCC can help mitigate risks and ensure that all safety measures are in place to protect workers on or near the track.

The other options do not accurately reflect the primary function of the MCC: while supervising train movements is vital for overall safety, that responsibility lies more with train dispatchers or designated safety officers rather than the MCC. Reporting traffic conditions to the public is typically handled by other departments or agencies. Testing communication systems, while important for overall operation efficiency, is usually part of pre-deployment checks and not a direct responsibility of the MCC in managing work crews.
