Rail — FRA 49 CFR Part 219
FRA Rail Compliance: Random Testing, MRO Workflow, and RTD Management
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) Part 219 compliance for short-line and regional operators.
Short-line and regional rail operators face the same compliance burden as large carriers—with fewer resources.
Regional and short-line railroads operate under the same FRA Part 219 drug-testing rules as Class I carriers, but you typically lack the in-house compliance staff to manage random draws, MRO coordination, and 5-year record archival manually. Atlas Onboard is built for your scale.
Atlas Onboard for Rail
Compliance built for regional and short-line operators.
Auditable Random Selection
Define your random pool by job family (engineers, conductors, dispatchers, etc.) or by location. Atlas Onboard generates draws using a FIPS-certified algorithm, records the seed and date, and stores the audit trail.
Clinic Network Across Regions
Atlas Onboard partners with collection clinics nationwide. Your employees can schedule tests locally; results flow directly to the platform.
MRO & RTD Workflow
Non-negative results route to your MRO, who conducts the interview in the platform. RTD cases are tracked and closed when the employee passes a follow-up test.
FRA-Ready Documentation
Every test—selection, collection, result, MRO decision, RTD—is logged and timestamped. Download compliance reports for FRA audits. Retention rules (5 years positive, 1 year negative) are automatic.
