• Abstract:
  This report presents information gathered and analyzed in support of UMTA's effort to develop practical guidelines for U.S. transit operators in implementing anti-drug policies and programs. The principal goal of these guidelines is to assist the U.S. mass transit industry to achieve a drug-free transit workforce to protect the health and safety of workers and the public. This report explains the regulatory requirements for transit operators established by 49 CFR Parts 29, 40, and 653. Guidance is provided on cost effective strategies for implementing anti-drug program elements associated with policy formulation, employee and supervisor training, urine specimen collection and testing, recordkeeping and reporting, and establishing Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs). Detailed appendices include sample forms, correspondence, checklists, reference sources, and other tools to assist transit operators in creating workable procedures to meet regulatory requirements.
