Description:

This Toolkit is a compilation of policies, procedures, forms, and training resources that represent the best practices being used throughout the U.S. by a variety of transit systems. It does not represent all of the effective means that transit systems are using to address and monitor Prescription (Rx) and Over-the-Counter (OTC) medication use, but is the result of an extensive effort by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to compile a broad range of materials as examples and models.
