RESOLUTION -- APPROVING THE AMARILLO CITY TRANSIT DRUG AND ALCOHOL POLICY CHANGES FOR 2018:
(Contact: Marita Wellage-Reiley, Transit Director)
The City of Amarillo receives federal funding from the Department of Transportation (DOT) Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and is thereby required to comply with 49 CFR Part 40 USDOT Drug & Alcohol Regulations. The new regulations became effective January 1, 2018. The revised ACT Drug & Alcohol Policy incorporates the City of Amarillo Substance Abuse Policy and the new DOT policy addendum. The most significant revision is the addition of four opioids to the drug testing panel. Because the rule implementing the policy was not finalized until November 13, 2017, DOT has given covered agencies a grace period in which to have the governing authorities approve the policy by the end of February 2018.
