The Federal Transit Administration has officially deleted a reporting requirement from its regulations regarding private investment in public transportation projects. This rule, which was part of the agency’s procedures for encouraging private sector partnerships, required recipients to submit reports evaluating how modifications or waivers affected project delivery.
Why it matters: This is primarily an administrative cleanup. By removing a rule that no one was following, the FTA reduces compliance burdens for transit agencies seeking flexibility in how they structure public-private partnerships. It does not change the underlying laws or funding mechanisms, but it does clear out dead weight from the regulatory code.
Who it affects
- State and local public transportation agencies receiving federal funds
This final rule was issued by the Federal Transit Administration within the Department of Transportation; check the Federal Register for the full legal text before relying on it.
