The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), part of the Department of Transportation, announced the minimum random drug and alcohol testing rates for certain railroad employees for 2025. The rates will remain the same as in 2024, with covered service and maintenance-of-way employees facing a 25% drug testing rate and a 10% alcohol testing rate. Mechanical employees, who have only been tested since March 2022, will continue with a 50% drug and 25% alcohol testing rate. The FRA sets these rates based on data from the previous two years but may adjust them after evaluating other factors.

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is reopening the comment period for changes and clarifications to the National Transit Database reporting requirements, originally announced on October 31, 2024. This extension allows more time for transit agencies and affected parties to review and comment on these changes, which impact safety and security reporting. Comments can be submitted by January 29, 2025, through various methods, including online, mail, or fax. The goal is to gather additional input due to the complex nature of the proposals and the holiday period overlapping with the original comment timeframe.
