Safety and Security Oversight Program Standards Manual for Fixed Guideway Transportation Systems

PURPOSE:

Rule 14-15.017, F.A.C., adopts by reference the Department’s Fixed Guideway Transportation Systems State Safety and Security Oversight Manual.

The updates include new requirements for risk-based inspections and public transportation agency safety plans. Additional changes add clarifying language regarding safety certification oversight and security and emergency preparedness plans. The changes also include updated graphics and office nomenclature. The rule is also amended consistent with statutory changes to include privately owned fixed-guideway transportation systems operating in this state which are located within an independent special district created by local act which have boundaries within two contiguous counties.
