Bill > S2945

This bill modifies existing transportation safety regulations by clarifying the role of an "accountable executive" in transit agency safety committees. Specifically, the bill gives the accountable executive the authority to be the final decision-maker in resolving safety committee disputes and determining whether to implement recommended risk-based mitigation strategies. The bill defines an "accountable executive" as the single identifiable person ultimately responsible for a transit agency's Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan and Transit Asset Management Plan, including control over the human and capital resources needed to develop and maintain these plans. By establishing this clear leadership role, the bill aims to streamline safety decision-making processes within transit agencies and ensure a singular point of accountability for critical safety and asset management responsibilities.
