Our NTD reporting solution
U.S. transit agencies must submit annual reports about their fleet performance and other metrics to the National Transit Database (NTD).
Compiling and submitting these reports can be complex and time-consuming and require significant resources.
Our transport experts have developed a solution to ease the burden – an NTD reporting tool which sits within Maximo, the most widely used asset management software.
By utilizing automated data capture and guidance, the tool generates NTD-compliant reports.
The result? Reduced time and effort spent creating reports, and increased compliance assurance.
Easing the burden of NTD reporting
The value and benefits of Cohesive’s NTD reporting solution are multiple:
- Pre-configured data capture system: Our solution prompts users to capture the right information required for NTD reports, empowering agencies to create reports independently. This saves time, reduces the margin for error, and reduces the resources needed for report generation.
- Excel upload templates: Our pre-configured NTD reports include Excel upload templates, simplifying the process of reporting fleet performance to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Agencies can easily populate these templates with relevant data from their Maximo system.
- Advanced Support Plan (ASP): Cohesive provides ongoing support through the Advanced Support Plan (ASP). This ensures that the configurations and reports remain up-to-date with any changes in FTA data reporting requirements. Our proactive approach minimizes the risk of non-compliance and ensures the accuracy of reported data.

We provide added value in the following ways:
- Expertise and customization: Our team provides customized solutions tailored to the regulatory requirements and optimizations of US transit agencies. This expertise translates into cost savings for agencies, improved performance, and a smoother implementation process.
- Industry-specific capabilities: With a deep understanding of the transit industry, Cohesive delivers industry-specific capabilities that address immediate regulatory needs.
Seamless NTD reporting
Our NTD Maximo reporting solution creates pre-formatted reports which agencies can upload directly to the FTA’s NTD reporting site.
It enables agencies to easily create the three most asset-centric reports:
- Form A-15 (Transit Facilities Inventory),
- Form A-30 (Revenue Vehicle Inventory), and
- Form A-35 (Service Vehicle Inventory).
These reports are generated directly from Maximo in a format compatible with the FTA reporting system.
Enabling Configurations: The tool facilitates NTD reporting by modeling transit reporting agencies directly within Maximo and providing standardized data and lookups. This ensures the correct and consistent collection of data required by the FTA, streamlining the reporting process.

NTD Fleet Management Application: Cohesive’s solution includes a Fleet Management application within Maximo, allowing agencies to define fleets, manage fleet status, and track fleet assets efficiently. This application simplifies the association of assets with the appropriate FTA fleet ID, ensuring accurate reporting.
- Manage agency-specific and associated FTA fleet ID’s
- Associate vehicles to the appropriate fleet ID as required for fleet NTD reporting
- Indicate fleet status (active or retired) and dates
- Fleet vehicle type, expected life in years and years of latest value estimate
- Transportation mode – manage the combination of primary and secondary modes

- Manufacturer and fleet model
- Fleet manufactured year and rebuilt year, automatically separates fleet reporting rows into the correct FTA reporting standard
- Fuel type and unit of measure, as well as energy type, supports associated energy consumption report as part of Form A-30
- Vehicle length, associated attributes such as seating and standing capacity
- Asset ownership type and funding source
- Last reported date to the FTA
- Provides transparency to the agency to ensure that reporting has been performed as required

- Associate specific fleet assets to the right FTA fleet ID
- Manage asset associations to the right FTA fleet ID to ensure correct reporting
- Data elements that cause different FTA fleet IDs to be created are documented and available for agencies to assist with that re-association
- Maintains the relationship to the original fleet that was procured by the agency to facilitate internal fleet reporting and analysis
