Certification Fact Sheet

PTASP_Certification_Fact_Sheet-20200828.pdf

The PTASP regulation (49 CFR Part 673) requires each applicable recipient or State to certify their compliance with the PTASP regulation. This fact sheet explains certification, which entities must certify, when to certify, and how to certify in the Transit Award Management System.

In light of the extraordinary challenges presented by the COVID-19 public health emergency, on December 11, 2020 FTA issued a second Notice of Enforcement Discretion for the Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan (PTASP) regulation (49 CFR Part 673). FTA will refrain from taking enforcement action until July 21, 2021 for recipients and subrecipients unable to certify compliance with the PTASP regulation. Please visit FTA’s COVID-19 FAQs page for more information about the Notice.

The PTASP TAC remains available to help you meet PTASP regulation requirements.
