\"FTA\"The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) issued the final rule<\/span><\/a> for the Public Transportation Safety Program<\/span> that establishes procedural rules for FTA to administer a comprehensive safety program to improve the safety of federally-funded public transportation systems.

\u201cWith today\u2019s action, FTA continues its steady progress in establishing the regulatory framework needed to implement and strengthen our new and existing safety transit oversight and enforcement authorities,\u201d said FTA Acting Administrator Carolyn Flowers.<\/span><\/p>\n

This rule also establishes procedural rules for the FTA to conduct inspections, investigations, audits and examinations of Chapter 53 grant recipients\u2019 public transportation systems, withhold or direct the use of Federal transit funds, and issue directives.<\/span><\/p>\n

FTA\u2019s Office of Transit Safety and Oversight (TSO) will host webinars on Tuesday, August 30 from 2:00 \u2013 3:00pm ET<\/span><\/a> and Thursday, September 1 from 3:00 \u2013 4:00pm ET<\/span><\/a> to discuss the Public Transportation Safety Program Rule.
