What it does
The Safe Transit Accountability Act would amend federal law to give the accountable executive of a transit agency the authority to make final decisions on safety committee recommendations and to serve as the sole tiebreaker in any disputes within the safety committee. It defines the accountable executive as the individual with ultimate responsibility for implementing the agency’s Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan and Transit Asset Management Plan, including control over necessary human and capital resources. The bill applies to recipients of federal transit funding and aims to clarify decision-making authority in transit safety oversight.
