Overview
FTA administers a national transit safety program and program compliance oversight process to advance safe, reliable, and equitable transit service throughout the U.S. FTA’s Office of Transit Safety & Oversight (TSO) helps make transit safer through policy development, hazard investigation, data collection, risk analysis, oversight programs and information sharing.
What's New
- FTA has launched the Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan (PTASP) Technical Assistance Center (TAC) to support transit agencies and states in meeting PTASP requirements by the July 20, 2020 compliance deadline. The goal of the TAC is to provide technical assistance on the development and implementation of Agency Safety Plans (ASP).
