Welcome to the NTD Safety and Security Workshop page

Safety and Security Workshop Dates and Locations
The NTD Safety and Security Workshops 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 Safety and Security 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.

All costs associated with attendance at these sessions will be the responsibility of the attendee. For the New Jersey Transit and CUTR locations, we have identified a list of nearby hotels and provide this information for your convenience in arranging accommodations. However, providing this lists does not imply an endorsement or recommendation by FTA / NTD or TSP.

Please contact Megan Wilcox regarding program content and registration information: 703.462.5234 or via email: megan.wilcox@tspusa.com

NTD Safety and Security Workshop 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 workshops 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 workshop you have requested, you will receive notification informing you that you have been placed on the Waiting List for that workshop. If possible, you will be offered the opportunity to attend a workshop in another location. Individuals on the Waiting List will be contacted if cancellations result for the workshop initially requested.

Program Focus
The NTD Safety and Security workshop will introduce the new NTD Safety and Security reporting software. The course will highlight specific terminology,
reporting requirements and guidance with an emphasis on assisting agency personnel to develop a greater understanding of the reporting process and compiling NTD Safety and Security reports. The agenda is designed to encourage attendee participation, questions and discussion.

Meeting with An Analyst and FTA / NTD Staff
NTD staff will be available to answer your questions or review the information presented during the program. Where possible, FTA representatives may also be available to participate in these discussions. You are also encouraged to request a meeting with any member(s) of the FTA / NTD Team.

Internet Reporting
During meetings with NTD staff, should you you have questions regarding the software, they analyst will be able to walk you through the process.
