Public Transportation Safety Certification Program (PTSCTP)

Safety training is critical to meet the needs of today’s transit industry. The Public Transportation Safety Certification Program, provided by the Transportation Safety Institute (TSI) and supported by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), covers the minimum requirements to enhance the technical proficiency of safety personnel who work in the rail transit industry. Two groups are required to complete the PTSCTP training:

• State Safety Oversight Agency personnel and contractors who conduct safety audits and examinations of rail transit systems
• Rail transit agency personnel and contractors who are directly responsible for safety oversight

Bus transit agency personnel and contractors who are directly responsible for safety oversight are not required but encouraged to participate in PTSCTP.
