The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is revising the definition of "accident" as used in the State Safety Oversight regulation to achieve consistency with the reporting requirements of the revised Safety and Security Module of the National Transit Database (NTD), updated February 2002. The term and definition of "accident" is removed and replaced with the term and definition "major incident."
