The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is providing the Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan Checklist for Rail Transit Agencies (RTAs) and State Safety Oversight Agencies (SSOAs) to assist with the development of the Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan (ASP) for rail transit modes. Use of this checklist is voluntary.

The checklist is intended for use by RTAs that are required to draft an ASP in accordance with 49 C.F.R. Part 673, Public Transportation Agency Safety Plans (Part 673) and for SSOAs that must review and approve the ASP per 49 C.F.R. Part 674, State Safety Oversight (Part 674).

The full text of Part 673 is available at http://www.transit.dot.gov/PTASP and Part 674 is available at https://www.transit.dot.gov/state-safety-oversight.
