Federal Transit Administration
Request for Transit Rail Advisory
Committee for Safety (TRACS)
Nominations
AGENCY:
Federal Transit Administration,
DOT.
Notice to solicit TRACS
nominees.
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) is seeking
nominations for individuals to serve on
the Transit Rail Advisory Committee for
Safety (TRACS). The Advisory
Committee meets at least twice a year to
advise FTA on transit safety issues. The
recommendations of the TRACS will
help FTA develop policies, practices,
and regulations for enhancing safety
across all modes of public
transportation as FTA implements new
statutory authority for public
transportation safety oversight.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Bridget Zamperini, Office of Transit
Safety and Oversight (TSO), Federal
Transit Administration, 1200 New

I. Background
On December 8, 2012, TRACS was
chartered by the Secretary of the
Department of Transportation (the
Secretary) for the purpose of providing
a forum for the development,
consideration, and communication of
information from knowledgeable and
independent perspectives regarding
modes of public transit safety.
Currently, the TRACS committee
consists of members representing key
constituencies affected by rail transit
safety requirements, including rail
safety experts, research institutions,
industry associations, labor unions,
transit agencies, and State Safety
Oversight Agencies.
With passage of the Moving Ahead for
Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP–
21), Public Law 112–141, (2012), FTA’s
safety oversight authority has been
expanded to include all modes of public
transportation. Therefore, TRACS
membership will be reconfigured to
reflect a broader range of safety
constituents that is more representative
of the public transit industry. To that
end, the FTA Administrator invites
nominations from members representing
key constituencies affected by rail
transit or bus transit safety
requirements, including labor unions,
rail and bus transit agencies, paratransit
service providers (both general public
and Americans with Disabilities Act
complementary service), State Safety
Oversight Agencies, State Departments
of Transportation, transit safety research
organizations and others from the rail
transit safety or bus transit safety
industry.
The TRACS meets approximately
twice a year, usually in Washington, DC,
but may meet more frequently or via
conference call as needed. Members
serve at their own expense and receive
no salary from the Federal Government.
FTA retains authority to review the
participation of any TRACS member
and to recommend changes at any time.
TRACS meetings will be open to the
public and one need not be a member
of TRACS to attend. Interested parties
may view the information about the
committee at: https://www.fta.dot.gov/
about/13099.html.
II. Nominations
Qualified individuals interested in
serving on this committee are invited to
apply to FTA for appointment. The FTA
Administrator will recommend
nominees for appointment by the
Secretary. Appointments are for twoyear terms; however, the Secretary may
reappoint a member to serve additional
terms. Nominees should be
