Transit Agency Ditches Weekly Reports to Cut Paperwork Hassle

## Summary

The Federal Transit Administration wants to stop the weekly reporting rule called WE-20 for transit agencies because it’s more hassle than it’s worth. This change will save time and effort for transit agencies without costing extra money. If you have thoughts, make sure to share them by December 2, 2025!

## Abstract

This notice provides information on the proposed rescission of the National Transit Database's (NTD) Weekly Reference (WE-20) reporting requirement. After careful evaluation, FTA determined the WE- 20 reporting requirement no longer offers sufficient value relative to the administrative burden on transit agencies and FTA. Consistent with the Administration's focus on reducing regulations, FTA proposes rescinding the WE-20 reporting requirement.
