SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FTA recommends that State Safety Oversight
Agencies (SSOAs) direct Rail Transit Agencies (RTAs) within their

monitoring and measurement procedures to assess the effectiveness of
mitigations. FTA recommends SSOAs obtain any documentation related to
the recommended actions outlined above from their RTAs. FTA recommends
that SSOAs that receive such documentation submit it to the State
Safety Oversight Reporting (SSOR) system within 180 days from the
