The Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) State Safety Oversight Rule (49 CFR Part 659) requires oversight for all rail transit agencies in revenue operation after January 1, 1997. States with 'New Start' systems, funded through FTA's discretionary New Starts program, must address 49 CFR Part 659 requirements with the initiation of New Start revenue service. The Rule also requires that submissions made to FTA for States with existing oversight programs must be updated to reflect major operational changes, which include extensions funded through the New Start program. These requirements place a great deal of responsibility on States with New Start projects to make provisions for the amount of time it takes to develop a fully compliant oversight program. This document has been prepared to guide States through the process of developing a safety oversight program that meets FTA requirements and ensures effective oversight from the initiation of revenue service for new start projects. These guidelines also describe an approach for addressing safety and security during New Start planning, design and construction.
