FTA will address this with four updates to the NTD, including 1) adding the definition of assault on a transit worker to its Policy Manual; 2) requiring full reporters to include monthly counts of assaults on transit workers that are not already reported as major events; 3) directing all other reporters to report counts of annual assaults on transit workers, including separating counts based on major events from non-major events; and 4) updating the forms for full reporters to classify all assaults on transit workers as major events.<\/li>\n<li>Fatalities That Result from an Impact With a Bus: The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law requires all grant recipients to report \u201cany data on fatalities that result from an impact with a bus.\u201d Rural, reduced, and asset-only reporters do not currently report this data to the NTD. FTA proposes the addition of seven questions for these reporters to report fatalities from bus collisions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Learn more about these proposed changes and clarifications in the notices.
