On December 20, 2023, FTA issued a request for public comment on a proposed General Directive on Required Actions Regarding Assaults on Transit Workers. The proposed General Directive would require transit agencies subject to the Public Transportation Agency Safety Plans (PTASP) regulation (49 CFR part 673) to conduct a safety risk assessment related to assaults on transit workers on their public transportation system and provide to FTA information about how they are assessing, mitigating and monitoring the safety risk associated with assaults on transit workers. This article originally appeared in the December 2023 issue of the TSO Spotlight.
