SUMMARY: The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) announces that it
will host a listening session concerning the topics of hours of service

session will allow interested persons to present comments, views, and
relevant research on those topics. All comments will be summarized and
placed in the rulemaking docket for FTA's consideration.

Orlando, Florida, from 11:15 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. ET.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
FTA plans to issue an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM)
seeking public input in two areas: (1) hours of service; and (2)
fatigue risk management programs. At present, there are no Federal
minimum standards for hours of service and fatigue risk management
programs in the transit industry. The listening session will allow
interested persons to present comments, views, and relevant research on
those topics. FTA would like to hear from members of the public on
their views on transit worker fatigue and whether they would support
FTA adopting mandatory federal hours of service and fatigue risk
management requirements for transit workers. FTA seeks information to
understand better current industry practices, priorities, requirements,
and the costs and benefits of Federal requirements.
II. Meeting Participation
The listening session is open to the public.
III. Future Meetings
FTA plans to hold additional listening sessions in the future for
those unable to attend this in-person listening session. The details of
those listening sessions will be published in the Federal Register.
