Maryland Achieves SSO Certification

FTA has announced that Maryland has obtained federal certification of its rail transit State Safety Oversight (SSO) Program in advance of an April 15, 2019, deadline.

Maryland joins West Virginia, Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, ­Minnesota, Utah, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Virginia and Colorado in meeting the deadline for FTA certification, bringing the total to 13 out of 30 states or territories with rail transit systems.

Federal law requires states with rail transit systems in the engineering or construction phase of development or in operation to obtain FTA certification of their SSO programs by the deadline. If a state fails to meet the deadline, FTA is prohibited by law from awarding any new federal transit funds to public transit agencies within the state until certification is achieved.
