For public transportation workers, safety is everything. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requires all safety-sensitive employees to complete a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) program if they test positive, refuse a test, or otherwise violate drug and alcohol rules.
At AACS Counseling, we provide the cheapest FTA SAP program nationwide, with every step done virtually from your home. Our efficient process helps transit employees return to work within just a few days, not weeks.

What is the FTA SAP Program?
The FTA SAP Program is required for employees in transit systems who hold safety-sensitive positions, including:
- Bus drivers
- Rail operators
- Maintenance technicians
- Dispatchers and control center staff
- Transit supervisors and managers in safety-sensitive roles
Under 49 CFR Part 40, any violation requires completion of the SAP return-to-duty process before resuming work.
