Public transit agencies are essential to the daily lives of millions of Americans, providing safe, reliable transportation across cities and communities. To ensure that these services operate smoothly and within compliance, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) offers a powerful resource—the Regulatory and Guidance eXchange (RGX).


What is the RGX?

The RGX is an innovative online tool created by the FTA to help transit agencies and stakeholders navigate the complex landscape of federal requirements, regulations, and guidance. It acts as a one-stop shop where users can access regulatory information, guidance documents, and training materials, promoting a deeper understanding of FTA policies and procedures.

Key Features of the RGX

  • Searchable Database: The RGX offers a searchable platform for accessing a wide range of FTA regulations and guidance materials. Users can quickly locate relevant documents by using keywords, categories, or regulatory references.

  • Training and Webinars: The RGX hosts an array of training programs, webinars, and instructional resources to help transit agencies stay compliant with FTA standards and adopt best practices for safety and efficiency.

  • Interactive Tools: Agencies can benefit from various interactive tools within RGX, such as document checklists and compliance timelines, aiding in the preparation for audits, reviews, and reports.

  • Public Access: The platform is available to the public, making it a valuable resource not only for transit agencies but also for community stakeholders, researchers, and policy advocates.
