| | Learn more about FTA's recently issued General Directive on required actions to protect the nation's frontline transit workers from assaults at a webinar scheduled for Tuesday, October 15, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. ET. Last month, FTA issued General Directive 24-1: Required Actions Regarding Assaults on Transit Workers, which will require more than 700 transit agencies nationwide to take action and address ongoing incidents of assaults on transit workers. The directive reflects FTA's commitment to the safety of transit workers and the need to address at the federal level the problem of verbal and physical assaults they face while at work. Assaults have increased more than 120 percent between 2013 and 2021. The General Directive requires all transit agencies subject to FTA's Public Transportation Agency Safety Plans (PTASP) regulation to complete a safety risk assessment. They are required to assess the risk of assaults on their workers using the Safety Management System processes outlined in their Agency Safety Plans. The webinar will go into detail about the requirements including using Safety Management System processes, reporting information to FTA and how the General Directive is a significant and necessary next step in FTA's efforts to better protect frontline transit workers. | | | | |
