Every year, FTA is required to publish the random testing rates in a Federal Register Notice (FRN) for public transportation employees subject to the requirements of FTA Drug and Alcohol Testing regulation (49 CFR part 655). The minimum random drug testing rate will remain at 50%, and the random alcohol testing rate will remain at 10%. The FRN highlights the number of employees who had a verified positive test for the use of prohibited drugs, and the number of employees who tested positive for the misuse of alcohol during the reported year.
