This digest contains a report prepared under TCRP Project J-5, "Legal Aspects of Transit and Intermodal Transportation Programs", for which the Transportation Research Board is the agency conducting the research. The report has the same title as this digest and is authored by G. Kent Woodman, Jane Sutter Starke, and Leslie D. Schwartz. Section 13(c) of the Federal Transit Act is an especially complex Federal requirement. It has a unique history, which must be appreciated. It is administered by two Federal agencies, primarily the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and secondarily the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), which do not always share the same policies or interpretations. Decisions regarding Section 13(c) are not generally published. This report provides descriptions of how the Section 13(c) certification process works. It should be a reference for attorneys, transit administrators, labor representatives, comptrollers, transit planning and grant officials, Metropolitan Planning Organizations, and local officials. The contents are organized as follows: Foreword; Introduction and Overview; (I) Background of Section 13(c) Labor Protection; (II) The Section 13(c) Process and Procedural Issues; (III) The Substantive Law of Section 13(c)--Major Issues and Decisions; and (IV) Conclusion.
