Title: National Transit Database (NTD).
OMB Number: 2132-0008.
Background: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of
1995, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is requesting Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) 3-year approval of an extension without
change for a currently approved collection. 49 U.S.C. 5335 requires the
Secretary of Transportation to maintain a reporting system, using a
uniform system of accounts, to collect financial, operating, geographic
service area coverage, and asset condition information from the
nation's public transportation systems. Congress created the NTD to be
the repository of transit data for the nation to support public
transportation service planning and FTA established the NTD to meet
these requirements. FTA continues to seek ways to reduce the burden of
NTD reporting. The existing information collection request (ICR) is set
to expire on August 31, 2026, this ICR covers the information
collection activities associated with proposed changes finalized in
July 2025, to include the consolidation of station and facility
reporting, security reporting clarification, trip planning and
geospatial data, and ensuring a state of good repair. There is no added
burden from these changes.
Respondents: State or local governmental entities that operate a
public transportation service.
Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 2,914 respondents.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 456,179 hours.
Frequency: Annual.
Kusum Dhyani,
Director, Office of Management Planning.
