FTA Webinars Focus on Safety Rulemaking
FTA’s Office of Transit Safety and Oversight is conducting webinars Sept. 17 and 18 to discuss the Public Transportation Safety Program Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) published in the Aug. 14, 2015, Federal Register, including provisions of the proposed rule and how industry stakeholders can get involved in the regulatory process.
The proposed rule would formally adopt Safety Management Systems (SMS) as the basis for FTA’s new Public Transportation Safety Program and would establish the framework for the FTA administrator’s authority to monitor, oversee and enforce safety in the public transportation industry. The proposed rule also outlines the National Public Transportation Safety Plan, which will be the subject of its own Federal Register notice expected later this year.
The webinars will begin at 1 p.m. (eastern). Participants must pre-register here. Registrants will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions by submitting them electronically through the web interface.
A recently released FTA publication, SMS Framework: Getting Ready, explains the building blocks of SMS included in the framework and some of the major milestones for its implementation. By sharing this framework, FTA aims to standardize the understanding of SMS and actively support its implementation through communication and partnership with the public transportation industry.
