Background: 49 U.S.C. 5335(a) and (b)
requires the Secretary of Transportation
to maintain a reporting system, using a
uniform system of accounts, to collect
financial and operating information
from the nation’s public transportation
systems. Congress created the NTD to be
the repository of transit data for the
nation to support public transportation
service planning. FTA has established
the NTD to meet these requirements,
and has collected data for over 35 years.
The NTD is comprised of four modules,
Rural, Urban Annual, Monthly, and
Safety Event Reporting. FTA continues
to seek ways to reduce the burden of
NTD reporting. FTA has added upload/
download capabilities to the reporting
system and greatly reduced the
sampling required to certify Automatic
Passenger Counters for use in reporting
data to the NTD.
Respondents: State or local
governmental entities that operates a
public transportation service.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 2,334 respondents.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses: 17,766.

Abstract: VA Form 10–2850D,
Application for Health Professions
