RECOMMENDATION:
recommendation
To approve and adopt the 2022 revision to RTA Agency Safety Plan ("ASP") as written, to satisfy State Safety Oversight Agency (SSO) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) safety plan requirements.
end
ISSUE/BACKGROUND:
body
A formally approved revision of RTA's ASP is required annually by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LADOTD), serving in the capacity of RTA's State Safety Oversight Agency (SSOA) under 49 CFR Part 674, and by FTA.
Staff is recommending that the Board of Commissioners approve the revised ASP to be immediately executed by management and staff.
end
DISCUSSION:
The Board of Commissioners previously approved the ASP on July 28, 2020 and subsequently a revision thereof on March 23, 2021. This revision for Calendar Year 2022 includes continued enhancements to multiple sections describing Safety Management System (SMS) processes as well as administrative edits such as organizational structure and position titles.
LADOTD has reviewed the draft ASP and provided their written concurrence as required by Title 70, Part IX, of the Louisiana Administrative Code. RTA's ASP meets or exceeds federal and state requirements governing such plans.
The staff continues to develop and refine this ASP to ensure it is actionable, has the full support of all executive leadership, and drives continuous safety improvements throughout the agency.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None
NEXT STEPS:
Upon receipt of formal approval, the Chief Safety and Emergency Management Officer will send a final copy to LADOTD as required. The executive leadership and staff will execute the plan and continue to provide implementation updates upon request.
