Channel: usdotfta
Date: 04/04/2016

This recorded webinar covers FTA's proposed National Public Transportation Safety Plan and the Agency Safety Plan Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. Both are intended to make transportation safer, based on the principles and practices of Safety Management Systems, or SMS. The proposed National Public Transportation Safety Plan, is not a regulation. It does lay out how we’re going to lead the effort to manage safety risk within our nation’s public transportation systems. The second document is the Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, or NPRM. Under this proposed law, any public transportation system that receives Federal financial assistance would be required to implement a comprehensive safety plan based on Safety Management System’s principles.
