Today, FTA issued a safety bulletin reminding transit agencies that receive certain FTA funding of the important deadlines for reporting safety and security events to the National Transit Database (NTD). FTA relies on timely safety and security data to carry out its safety oversight programs effectively.

FTA reminds applicable reporters of the following reporting deadlines for safety and security events: 

• Major Event Report (S&S-40) is due no later than 30 days after the event date. 

• Non-Major Monthly Summary Report (S&S-50) is due by the end of each month. 

FTA has available resources to support transit agencies with meeting the required timelines, including policy manuals and FAQs. For questions about reporting events to the NTD, reporters can contact their S&S analyst, whose contact information is at the top of the S&S Report Package in the NTD online reporting system.
