a Accident statistics for cable car, inclined
plane, jitney, and ferry boat are not available. The number of incidents, fatalities, and
injuries for these modes appear in the footnotes for table 2-33.
b Accidents include collisions with vehicles,
objects, people (except suicides), and
derailments/vehicles going off road.
c Motor bus also includes trolley bus.
d 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.
eThe drop in the number
of accidents and injuries is due largely to a change in definitions by the
Federal Transit Administration, particularly the definition of injuries. Only injuries requiring immediate medical
treatment away from the scene now qualify as reportable. Previously, any injury was reportable. Commuter rail data are now derived from the
Federal Railroad Administration's Rail Accident Incident Reporting System
(RAIRS).
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. Data covers only
directly 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.
Prior to the 2000 edition, Transit Safety and Security Statistics and Analysis
Report was entitled Safety Management Information Statistics (SAMIS) annual report.
Analysts for the FTA believe the change in reporting
requirements in 2002 may have resulted in unreliable data in that year,
particularly for injuries and accidents. The reliability of reporting is
believed to be much better in 2003 and is expected to improve in the future.
