Does FTA positives need to be reported to the clearinghouse? - November 7, 2025

FTA positives do not need to be reported to the Clearinhouse.   If the test in question is a positive drug or alcohol test administered under Federal Transit Administration (FTA) authority, and the employee is only performing safety-sensitive functions regulated by the FTA, then the positive test result should not be reported to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Clearinghouse.

The FMCSA Clearinghouse is specifically for drug and alcohol testing violations committed by CDL drivers regulated under FMCSA rules 49 CFR Part 382.

However, if an employee performs both FTA and FMCSA regulated safety-sensitive functions, then the reporting requirements would depend on which modal authority was applicable at the time of the test.

Please note the following: 

  • FTA-regulated employers are exempt from FMCSA Clearinghouse requirements if their employees only perform safety-sensitive functions under FTA authority.
  • Positive FTA drug or alcohol tests should not be reported to the Clearinghouse in these cases.
  • The Clearinghouse is for FMCSA-regulated CDL drivers, and reporting requirements are tied to 49 CFR Part 382

Important Note: The information provided here pertains to the general rules. It’s crucial for employers to stay updated on the latest regulations and guidance from the Department of Transportation (DOT) and relevant agencies like the FTA and FMCSA to ensure compliance.

Our MRO reviews all DOT and non-DOT results intensely and provide consultation when it is needed before a report is made to the company.

We will report the test results within a day of receiving the results from the Lab.
