TSOA represents State Safety Oversight agency professionals in advancing effective oversight of rail transit safety programs

The Transit Safety Oversight Association (TSOA) is a national association developed to serve professionals in the transit safety oversight field. TSOA, a nonprofit organization established on April 20, 2022, will be funded and operated by its members and governing board in accordance with the governing Bylaws. States with rail transit systems have been responsible for carrying out state safety oversight (SSO) guidelines created in 1997 under 49 C.F.R. Part 659. State programs have since transitioned to comply with the updated requirements of 49 C.F.R. Part 674 under Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) as of 2018.

TSOA aims to be a strong and expert voice representing safety and oversight professionals nationwide.
