FTA Issues Special Directives on Risk-Based Inspection Program<\/h2>\n

Published on: <\/strong><\/em>October 23, 2022<\/em><\/p>\n

Today, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) issued 31 Special Directives<\/a> to require all State Safety Oversight Agencies (SSOAs)<\/a> to develop and implement a risk-based inspection program of the Rail Fixed Guideway Public Transportation Systems (RFGPTS) they oversee in accordance with changes to FTA\u2019s Public Transportation Safety Program as required by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law<\/a>. SSOAs must submit documentation to FTA to demonstrate their inspection programs address the requirements in accordance with their relevant Special Directive by October 21, 2024.<\/p>\n

A risk-based inspection program uses qualitative and\u202fquantitative data analysis to inform ongoing inspection\u202factivities.\u202fRisk-based inspection programs are designed to\u202fprioritize inspections to address safety concerns and hazards\u202fassociated with the highest levels of safety risk. A risk-based inspection program will require SSOAs to use data to inform their inspection practices, with the goal of addressing the highest risk elements and safety conditions.\u202f\u202f\u200b<\/p>\n
