| What is this
Indicator? This indicator reflects the overall
system safety as calculated as the number of accidents that
occurred per 100,000 miles of system wide travel. |
| Why this is
important? Safety is the number one driving
objective behind everyday transit operations. The Federal
Transit Administration requires ongoing and strenuous safety
programs be implemented in all federally funded public
transportation agencies. Policies and procedures are
developed, adopted, and implemented. Driver training programs
and safety meetings are regularly dedicated to discussions of
crashes by type and how to avoid such incidents. Safety
performance is audited at the agency and driver level; crash
frequency and severity are considered normal measures of transit
safety. |
| Technical Note:
Values are reported by the Transit Authority annually. Goals
are set by the Ohio Department of Transportation. |
