Summary: The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) urges the FTA to withdraw the proposed policy statement because it would disrupt existing transit agency mobility programs and "unwind years of precedent" regarding the Taxicab Exception. They argue that the proposal was issued without adequate industry consultation and request a stakeholder forum to discuss the potential impacts on public transit services and riders.
The American Public Transportation Association greatly appreciates the opportunity to respond to the Notice of Proposed Policy Statement (Docket No. FTA-2024-0020) published by the Federal Transit Administration. Please see the full letter attached.
