FTA’s Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan (PTASP) regulation (49 CFR Part 673) includes requirements for safety promotion, defined in §673.5 as “a combination of training and communication of safety information,” which is a key component of each transit agency’s Safety Management System (SMS).
