| The FTA General Directive on Required Actions Regarding Assaults on Transit Workers webinar presentation and recording are now available from the October 15, 2024 webinar. 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 (SMS) processes outlined in their Agency Safety Plans (ASP). The directive, a significant and necessary next step in FTA's efforts to better protect frontline transit workers, requires transit agencies to: - Assess the risk of assaults on the agency's transit workforce using the SMS processes outlined in its ASP.
- Conduct a safety risk assessment related to assaults on transit workers.
- Provide information to FTA within 90 days on how they are assessing, mitigating and monitoring the safety risk associated with assaults on transit workers.
Responses to the General Directive are due December 26, 2024. This information will help FTA understand how transit worker assault safety risk assessments and safety risk mitigations vary throughout the industry, informing the agency of further activities that may be effective in reducing the risk of assaults on transit workers. | | | |
