Rule/Notice/NOFO: Public Transportation Safety Certification Training Program
Federal Register/Notice: federalregister.gov
Description: FTAFTA is proposing changes to the reporting requirements for the Public Transportation Safety Certification Training Program (PTSCTP). In response to the Department of Transportation (DOT) January 31, 2025, Request for Information (RFI), the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), commented that the semiannual reporting requirement in 49 U.S.C. 672.21(d) is an “undue burden” on transit agencies. APTA also noted that some SSOAs are implementing this requirement through the program standards they must establish under 49 CFR 674.27. Responsive to APTA’s comment, and to achieve meaningful burden reduction, FTA proposes to reduce the frequency of the reporting requirement from semiannual to annual. The proposed revisions would reduce reporting burdens for rail transit agencies and State Safety Oversight Agencies (SSOA).
