FTA Compliance Solutions
Our custom compliance solutions are designed to help you meet FTA requirements with confidence. From establishing your business foundations to managing ongoing safety programs, we ensure every safety-sensitive role is properly vetted, every program is up-to-date, and every process is built to support safe, accessible, and efficient public transit.
Setting up your business under FTA regulations starts with the basics: securing the proper licenses, registering your business name, and ensuring all foundational requirements are met. Missing a step can delay operations or put your compliance at risk. Gradient simplifies the process, helping you establish your business correctly from day one so you can focus on delivering safe, reliable transit services to the communities you serve.

Managing a compliant drug and alcohol program under FTA regulations is a critical responsibility, especially for safety-sensitive roles like drivers, operators, and maintenance teams. From random testing to detailed recordkeeping, every piece must align with strict federal requirements — a task that can quickly become complex and time-consuming.
Gradient takes the weight off your shoulders, overseeing everything from program setup and coordination with testing facilities to timely follow-ups with Medical Review Officers (MROs) and Substance Abuse Professionals (SAPs). With Gradient managing the details, you’ll build a safer, more reliable workforce and stay confidently on track with FTA requirements.

Accurate and reliable specimen collections are the backbone of a compliant drug and alcohol program, but not every collection process meets FTA standards. Errors or inconsistencies can jeopardize compliance and disrupt operations. At Gradient, we ensure every collection adheres to federal requirements — safeguarding accuracy and integrity at every step.
With two Oregon-based locations, we make the process seamless for your team, ensuring timely and efficient testing.
