Description:

FTA conducted this survey to identify and categorize the fatigue management practices of rail transit agencies and State Safety Oversight (SSO) agencies affected by 49 CFR Part 659. FTA is providing information obtained from this survey to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) as part of its response to Safety Recommendation R-06-3.
FTA also collected information regarding existing practices of State Safety Oversight (SSO) agencies in addressing fatigue management issues with the rail transit agencies in their jurisdictions through FTA's SSO program (49 CFR Part 659).
This report has been prepared to present the results of the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Fatigue Management Survey. FTA administered this survey over the six-week period between June 19 and July 31, 2006.
FTA administered this survey as a periodic submission request through authority provided in 49 CFR Part 659.39(d). In conducting this survey through the SSO program, FTA ensured that: an independent review of the rail transit agency responses was performed by the SSO agencies; and SSO agencies were aware of the current practices at the rail transit agencies in their jurisdictions regarding work scheduling and fatigue management issues.
