Altoona tests prior to 10/31/16

[Nome Dickerson]

I recently attended the FTA’s Triennial Workshop. At this workshop the presenter asserted that ALL new buses tested after 10/31/16 would be subject to the new PASS/FAIL Altoona tests but also said the grantees must have on file a partial test for all buses tested prior to 10/31/16 or that would be a finding. Is that correct?

• Bus models that were tested prior to October 31st, 2016 are not subject to the Pass/Fail requirement. This effectively means that bus reports for buses that initiated testing prior to that date will not be rescored under Pass/Fail.
• Partial testing that is performed after October 31st, 2016 on buses that initiated testing prior to October 31st, 2016 will not be Pass/Fail and will not be scored as the partial test results effectively amend the original test report that was not subject to pass/Fail.
• Bus Models that initiated testing after October 31st, 2016 are subject to Pass/Fail and any subsequent partial testing on these models is also subject to the Pass/Fail requirement.
