On Oct. 3, 2013, FTA published an ANPRM on safety and transit asset management in the Federal Register. These rulemakings are required by MAP-21 and cover several topics that signal FTA’s commitment to ensuring that efforts to keep transit systems in good working order go hand-in-hand with efforts to keep them safe.

Please note: These webcasts are not public hearings. Individuals wishing to submit formal questions and comments on the ANPRM should direct them to the docket. The comment period closes on Jan. 2.
