"b Incidents include accidents (collisions with vehicles, objects, people (except suicides), derailments/vehicles going off road), plus personal casualties, fires, and property damage associated with transit agency revenue vehicles and all transit facilities.",,,,,,,,,,,
c Motor bus also includes trolley bus.,,,,,,,,,,,
d The number of unlinked passenger trips is equivalent to the number of passengers who board public transit vehicles.  Passengers are counted each time they board a vehicle regardless of how many vehicles are necessary for a passenger to get to their destination.,,,,,,,,,,,
"e  Rates are based on total incidents including accidents and were calculated by dividing the number of fatalities, injuries, and incidents in this table by the number of unlinked passenger trips.",,,,,,,,,,,

"Data are provided only for transit systems that furnished safety data for inclusion in the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Transit Administration Transit Safety and Security Statistics and Analysis annual reports.  Data covers only direct-operated urban transit systems. Vehicle-miles for all transit systems including nonurban and purchased can be found in the vehicle-miles table in chapter 1.",,,,,,,,,,,
