Safe Transit Accountability Act

This bill changes federal transit safety law for public transit agencies that receive federal funds. It would make the agency's "accountable executive" the person who decides whether to carry out the safety risk reduction steps recommended by the agency's Safety Committee. It would also make that executive the only tiebreaker when the Safety Committee has a dispute. The bill defines the accountable executive as the single person ultimately responsible for the agency's safety plan and asset management plan, with control over the staff and resources needed for them.
