NTD Annual / Monthly Reporting Seminars

The NTD Annual / Monthly reporting seminars are designed to notify transit agency employees of any changes that have taken place in the NTD reporting process since the previous reporting year. These seminars will provide an excellent opportunity for you to meet FTA's NTD staff and to pose your reporting questions in an interactive environment.

We urge you and other members of your staff who participate in preparing your agency's Annual / Monthly reports to attend one of our seminars. We anticipate that it may not be possible to accommodate everyone's request, given unavoidable limitations on capacity. Therefore, we urge you to register as early as possible to secure your space.

NTD Annual / Monthly Reporting Seminar Registration Information
Please do not make any hotel or airline reservations until you have received e-mail confirmation from FTA that you have been scheduled for a specific workshop.

The seminars are provided at no cost to the attendee, however, costs associated with travel, meals, hotels, etc., are the responsibility of the attendee. In general, hotels hold a number of rooms that are available to government employees at the prevailing government per diem rate. (Please check with the hotel for the current government per diem rate for that location when making your reservations.) When traveling on government per diem you will be responsible for paying all applicable taxes levied on the government per diem rate unless a tax exempt card is presented upon check-in at the hotel. In addition, each hotel may require either government identification, a government credit card, or a government issued check upon check-in. When making your reservations, please verify, in advance, with the hotel what will be required from you when you check-in.

If, due to demand, FTA cannot register you for the seminar you have requested, you will receive notification informing you that you have been placed on the Waiting List for that seminar. If possible, you will be offered the opportunity to attend a seminar in another location. Individuals on the Waiting List will be contacted if cancellations result for the seminar initially requested.
