a Totals do not include data for cable car, inclined plane, jitney,
and ferry boat. These data appear in the footnotes for table 2-33.
b Accidents include collisions with other vehicles, objects, and
people (except suicides), and derailments/buses going off the road. Incidents
include accidents plus personal casualties (inside vehicles, inside stations,
and boarding and alighting vehicle) and fires.
c Fatality and injury 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 vehicle miles.
d Total does not include property damage for cable car, inclined
plane, jitney, and ferry boat, which were: 1990–$335,000; 1991–$410,000; 1992–$288,000;
1993–$221,000; 1994–$322,000; 1995–$3,263,000; 1996–$157,000; 1997–$67,000;
1998–$24,000; 1999–$104,000; 2000–$77,000.
NOTES
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.
Transit vehicle-miles in this table differ from those reported in Chapter 1.
The American Public Transit Association, which is the source for the
vehicle-miles table in Chapter 1, includes all transit systems, while
Safety Management Information Statistics (SAMIS) covers only directly
operated urban transit systems.
Prior to the 2000 edition, Transit Safety and Security Statistics and Analysis
Report was entitled Safety Management Information Statistics (SAMIS)
annual report.
