SAP Return-to-Duty (DOT)

If you’ve failed or refused a DOT drug or alcohol test, the Department of Transportation requires you to complete the SAP Return-to-Duty (RTD) process before returning to safety-sensitive work. Pathway Center provides professional, step-by-step guidance to help you complete this process correctly and confidently.

What is the SAP RTD Process?

The SAP Return-to-Duty process is a federally required program designed to assess, educate, and monitor individuals following a DOT violation. It ensures compliance while supporting a safe and responsible return to work.
