#FRAResearch: MGA Research Corp performed simulated dynamic crash testing of open-bay seats. The simulated tests used donated commuter rail passenger seats and two Hybrid-III 50th percentile (H3-50M) anthropomorphic test devices. This test determined if the existing passenger seats follow the American Public Transportation Association’s (APTA’s) safety standard.

Dear Colleague Letter: Rescinds June 29, 2018 Capital Investment Grants Program letter | FTA
Yesterday, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) issued a Dear Colleague from Acting Administrator Nuria Fernandez announcing that the agency is rescinding the June 29, 2018 Dear Colleague on the Capital Investment Grants (CIG) program, which changed CIG review policies and created uncertainty around standards for FTA review. Since the release of the June 2018 Dear Colleague letter, APTA has strongly advocated against its implementation and successfully advocated for Congress to prohibit FTA from implementing these policies in annual transportation appropriations acts. In addition, APTA advocated for the 2018 Dear Colleague letter to be rescinded during meetings with the Biden Administration DOT Transition Team, and in APTA's Key Legislative, Policy, and Regulatory Public Transportation Priorities for the Biden-Harris Administration Memo to the Transition Team, dated November 17, 2020. https://www.transit.dot.gov/regulations-and-programs/dear-colleague-letters/dear-colleague-letter-rescinds-june-29-2018-capital

From coast to coast, thank you to all the transit staff who are working through tough winter conditions to deliver mobility to our communities.
The snow has melted, but our gratitude and praise for those who helped guide us through the storm is evergreen.
❄ For transit operators who drive icy streets in freezing temperatures to help customers
❄ For supervisors who work overnight to retrieve stuck buses
❄ For coordinators who work behind the scenes to help drivers, keep bus service moving, and team up with our partners to address tough roadway conditions
❄ For our maintenance crews, who first chain buses before the storm, then retrieve, repair and return buses to service so riders can get where they need to go safely and reliably
❄ And for our riders, for your patience and preparedness, and for wearing a mask on public transportation
Thank you.

Federal Transit Administration (FTA)
Metrolink CEO Stephanie Wiggins understands the importance of diversity. Growing up with a father serving in the U.S. Air Force, she re-adapted her life each time he was transferred, and she credits those experiences with learning the importance of diverse viewpoints. For her, #BlackHistoryMonth is an opportunity to highlight “the basic struggle that we are all in, the struggle for human rights and to recognize the humanity in others.”
In 2019, Wiggins took the reins as the chief executive of Metrolink #SoCal’s regional rail system, which operates 200 trains daily on 538 miles in six counties. In two years, she has prioritized the customer experience to focus on safety and innovation, including integrating PTC safety technology and retiring the fleet’s older, less energy-efficient locomotives to low-emission Tier 4 locomotives. She also has ensured a proactive #COVID19 response with touch point and electrostatic sprayer cleaning, hand sanitizer stations, a state-of-the-art air filtration system, mask requirements and an online capacity app.
Achieving equity on #transit is within reach if everyone commits, she says. Staff in decision-making roles need to focus on updating policies to better protect human rights. Looking to the future of the workforce, she recommends that young Black future workers should not hold back. “Don’t dim your light to avoid outshining others,” she says. “Your voice matters.”
FTA is recognizing #BlackHistoryMonth 2021 with a series of social media posts focused on advancing equity in the nation’s transit systems.

Can Biden save public transit from the pandemic?
"The emergency relief is so critical, so fundamental to keeping the agencies stabilized, addressing their budget issues, and really being able to continue to operate essential services that workers are counting on,” says APTA President and CEO Paul P Skoutelas to Fast Company.
Ridership—and revenue—are cratering. Will there be anything left once we’re vaccinated? The Biden administration and new Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg will have to act fast to give federal help so states and cities can turn things around.

Thank you to House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Chair Peter DeFazio and committee members for recognizing the public transportation industry’s very survival is at stake by opposing all amendments to eliminate/cut/transfer the $30 billion of COVID-19 emergency transit funding & $1.5 billion of emergency Amtrak funding in Budget Reconciliation. #publictransit #SavePublicTransit https://twitter.com/APTA_info/status/1359666004322897921

House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure
Thank you to House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Chair Peter DeFazio for supporting $30 Billion of COVID-19 emergency funding for public transit in the budget reconciliation title. The proposed funding is vital to the industry’s survival and will help prevent massive labor cuts and drastic service reductions http://bit.ly/3cWNAWE
Chair Peter DeFazio underscores the urgency of providing $30 billion of relief for urban AND rural transit to help keep 400,000+ transit workers employed and to keep buses and trains running. An important point for drivers, too, who will face more congested roads w/o transit.

Our economy cannot recover if Americans can't access safe and reliable transportation. The President's American Rescue Plan provides billions in the critical funding public transit needs to keep going.

APTA, on behalf of the entire public transportation industry, applauds the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure’s Budget Reconciliation Title providing $30 billion of COVID-19 emergency funding relief for public transit.

APTA also strongly supports the $1.5 billion of emergency funding provided for Amtrak > http://bit.ly/3cWNAWE

US transit systems seek light at end of pandemic tunnel
The pandemic "has taken a huge toll on the budgets of the transit agencies," said Paul P Skoutelas, president and CEO of APTA, noting that some systems have seen ridership collapse by as much as 90 percent.
"Certainly the largest cities get the biggest attention because of how large their transit networks are and the number of people they carry," Skoutelas said.
"But it's really throughout the country, and it's agencies and cities of all sizes."

City waiving bus fares on National Transit Equity Day
“We know that in Albuquerque, African American and Native American workers are the most likely to rely on the City’s transit system, and that access to a vehicle is a challenge for lower-income families,” said Michelle Melendez, Director of the Mayor’s Office of Equity and Inclusion.
“That is one reason why it is so fitting to recognize Rosa Parks’ birthday as Transit Equity Day. She knew that equitable access is necessary to gain full participation in all aspects of civic life – from education, to housing and jobs.”

“I have had the honor to work closely with Phil Washington over the years, and have been endlessly impressed by his leadership, his vision, and his determination to make meaningful change in the world. Phil’s passion for his teams, his work, and the industry as a whole shines through in everything he does, and he aspires to a level of excellence that inspires those around him. APTA and the industry congratulate Phil for his years of excellence, and look forward to his future endeavors." - APTA President and CEO Paul P. Skoutelas
“Phil has been a great friend of mine for many years and a true champion of public transit. His recent work as Chair of the Mobility Recovery & Restoration Task Force was a tremendous example of his commitment to transit passengers, employees, and the public, and APTA is forever thankful for his service in a variety of key volunteer leadership roles over the years. Phil has been an amazing leader, and his contributions will be felt throughout the industry for decades to come." - APTA Chair and General Manager of

County, and weathered the most devastating health crisis of the past century. We have quickened the sense and pace of public service and left L.A. County’s mobility space better than it was.”

Congress Significantly Boosts Public Transit Funding for 2018
“In late March, Congress appropriated $13.5 billion for public transit – that’s the largest annual amount of federal transit funding since 1981,” says APTA President and CEO Paul P. Skoutelas. #TransitFundingTuesday
Public Transit Needs Federal Funding to be Reliable and Modern
“We want to see a bipartisan package that will enhance our transportation network, and specifically public transportation. The Administration proposal to move dollars away from public transit is foolhardy,” says APTA President and CEO Paul P. Skoutelas. #TransitFundingTuesday
Vibrant, Growing Communities and Businesses Support More Public Transit
Public transportation’s value is being recognized by suburban and downtown Atlanta, with residents voting to tax themselves to improve and expand service. Major companies are now inviting public transit to the decision table, and that has gotten the attention of the Georgia legislature, which is looking at supporting MARTA for the first time. The federal government also needs to do more for American infrastructure to keep citizens mobile and the economy growing. Hear more of the story from MARTA Chairman Robert L. Ashe III. #TransitFundingTuesday
Private Sector Businesses Support Public Transit Funding
“Private industry supports public transit agencies as hand-in-hand partners… APTA business members spend a lot of time doing advocacy work on the Hill to generate awareness of the needs of public transportation,” says Jeff Wharton, Chair of the APTA Business Member Board of Governors #TransitFundingTuesday
Public Transit is the Backbone of a Healthy Community
“Now you have reliability that approaches 100% in anything you want to do, and you can do it with a [smart phone]. Public transportation needs to use technology to provide that same level of service and reliability. The challenge is funding,” said APTA Chair and Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) CEO Nat Ford. “Our main mission is advocacy for public transit, to bring additional capital funding to support critical services for our communities.” #TransitFundingTuesday
Federal Funding is Needed for Public Transit Infrastructure
“Despite public transit success stories, we still have a big hill to climb… we are more than $100 billion dollars short in maintaining a state of good repair,” said APTA Acting CEO Richard A. White. “Of all the infrastructure categories that The American Society of Civil Engineers tracks, transit is the lowest, D-. It is not because we aren’t trying hard, it is because transit is under-invested.” #TransitFundingTuesday
