  8. Who Does Part 673 Apply To? • Applies to any State, local governmental authority, and any other operator of a public transportation system that receives Federal financial assistance under 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53 [673.1] • Does not apply to an operator of a public transportation system that only receives 5310 (Formula grants for the enhanced mobility of seniors and individuals with disabilities) or 5311 funding (Formula grants for rural areas) [673.1(b)] • Does not apply to passenger ferries or rail systems under the jurisdiction of the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) [673.11(f)] ODOT SMS Workshop, May 7, 2019

  9. Who Does Part 673 Apply To? • Applies to an FTA grant recipient or subrecipient of Section 5307 funding (Urbanized area formula grants), including contracts with another entity to provide transit service. • Paratransit Service - If a transit agency receives Section 5307 funds, paratransit service provided by the recipient or subrecipient is subject to Part 673. ODOT SMS Workshop, May 7, 2019

  10. What does Part 673 require? • A Safety Plan • A transit agency must, within one calendar year after the effective date of the final rule, establish a Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan that meets the requirements of this part. [673.11(a)] • The Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan must address all applicable requirements and standards as set forth in FTA’s Public Transportation Safety Program and the National Public Transportation Safety Plan. Compliance with the minimum safety performance standards authorized under 49 U.S.C. 5329(b)(2)(C) is not required until standards have been established through the public notice and comment process. [673.11(a)(4)] ODOT SMS Workshop, May 7, 2019

  11. What does Part 673 require? • A Safety Plan (continued) • A transit agency may develop one Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan for all modes of service or may develop a Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan for each mode of service not subject to safety regulation by another Federal entity. [673.11(b)] ODOT SMS Workshop, May 7, 2019

  12. What does Part 673 require? • By July 20, 2020, each transit operator that is subject to this rule must have a drafted and certified Safety Plan that meets the requirements of Part 673 for all modes of transit service not subject to safety regulation by another Federal entity. The Safety Plan must include all information, processes, and procedures outlined in Part 673. • The Safety Plan must be completed, signed and certified by the deadline; however, FTA does not expect all transit agencies to have a fully implemented SMS by this date. ODOT SMS Workshop, May 7, 2019

  13. What does Part 673 require? • All Safety Plans must include documented safety management processes. • It is insufficient to merely indicate in the Plan that the processes exist. • A Safety Plan may include additional sections and information beyond what is required in Part 673. • FTA encourages transit agencies to incorporate any tools and best practices that effectively mitigate and eliminate safety risk throughout their systems. ODOT SMS Workshop, May 7, 2019

  14. A Safety Management System (SMS) • Each transit agency must establish and implement a Safety Management System under this part. A transit agency Safety Management System must be appropriately scaled to the size, scope, and complexity of the transit agency [673.21] • The Safety Plan should note key transit system characteristics in the relevant sections to show how the features of your SMS make sense for your transit agency (and mode). ODOT SMS Workshop, May 7, 2019

  15. Safety Plan Documentation • A transit agency is required to maintain documents that describe its Safety Plan, including those related to implementation and results from processes and activities. • A transit agency must maintain these documents for a minimum of three years. • A transit agency may have existing documentation that describes processes, procedures, and other information required. • 673.31 Safety Plan Documentation ODOT SMS Workshop, May 7, 2019

  18. Drafting the Plan • A State is not required to draft a Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan for a small public transportation provider if that agency notifies the State that it will draft its own plan. ODOT SMS Workshop, May 7, 2019

  19. Drafting the Plan • If a State drafts and certifies a Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan on behalf of a transit agency, and the transit agency later opts to draft and certify its own Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan, then the transit agency must notify the State. ODOT SMS Workshop, May 7, 2019

  20. Drafting the Plan • The transit agency has one year from the date of the notification to draft and certify a Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan that is compliant with this part. • The Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan drafted by the State will remain in effect until the transit agency drafts its own Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan. [673.11(d)] ODOT SMS Workshop, May 7, 2019

  21. Drafting the Plan • Small public transportation provider means a recipient or subrecipient of Federal financial assistance under 49 U.S.C. 5307 that has one hundred (100) or fewer vehicles in peak revenue service and does not operate a rail fixed guideway public transportation system.

ODOT SMS Workshop, May 7, 2019

  31. Performance Criteria, Measures, and Targets for Improvement • Performance Criteria and Measures are not new to the transit industry • Safety Performance Criteria and Measures are a subset • FTA has published the Safety Performance Criteria and Measures for the transit industry in the National Public Transportation Safety Plan (current version is 1.0, January 2017) • Fatalities • Injuries • Safety Events • System Reliability ODOT SMS Workshop, May 7, 2019
