All recipients of 5307, 5309 and 5311 Federal Transit Administration funds must comply with drug and alcohol testing requirments for safety sensitive employees as mandated in the Code of Federal Regulation Part 40 and Part 655. As these rules continue to develop it is necessary for grant recipients to keep current on changes in order to ensure compliance. In an effort to assist transit systems in keeping current several resources and links have been provided below. If there are any additional resources or information that should be added please contact Vicky Warner at  vwarner@indianartap.com.
