Action
Notice of proposed rulemaking.
Summary
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is proposing to amend its drug and alcohol testing rules to exempt volunteers and eliminate the citation requirement in the non-fatal, post-accident testing provision applicable to non-rail vehicles. We also seek comment on whether an ``accident'' should be defined to include the discharge of a firearm by a transit security officer. This rule, if adopted, is intended to increase the safety of mass transit and clarify certain provisions in the existing rules.
