Background Information:
The Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan (PTASP) is a federal requirement for all transit agencies who are a direct recipient of federal funds under 49 CFR 673. In addition to having a policy in place, it is a requirement for all direct recipients to set annual safety targets approved by the governing body. Staff has modified the previously approved version of the PTASP by updating the safety performance targets for FY 2025.
Once approved by council, staff must submit these numbers to Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) and Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT.)
