FTA Announces Safety Webinars: Agency Safety Plan Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) and Proposed National Safety Plan

 

FTA announces the availability of four webinars to discuss the Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) and the proposed National Public Transportation Safety Plan.  During each webinar, FTA will discuss provisions of both the proposed rule and plan and how industry stakeholders can get involved in the regulatory process.

 

The proposed Agency Safety Plan rule would require any public transportation system that receives Federal financial assistance to certify and implement a safety plan based on the principles of Safety Management System (SMS). The National Safety Plan is not a regulation, but would be FTA’s primary tool to disseminate guidance, technical assistance, templates, and other resources related to safety rulemaking to help transit providers improve their safety performance. Comments are due by April 5, 2016.

 

We are offering two webinar sessions for small urban, rural and tribal agencies on February 24 and March 3. In addition, we are offering one session for bus agencies on March 1 and a second session for multimodal agencies on March 2. All webinars will offer the same content. FTA recommends registering for one session that fits your schedule.
