NOTES
Data
are from transit agencies in urbanized areas over 200,000 population and
include patrons, employees, and others.
The
figures for violent and property crime follow the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting
Handbook, (Washington, DC: 1984) and
are based on records of calls for service, complaints, and/or investigations. These figures are for reported offenses and
do not reflect the findings of a court, coroner, jury, or decision of a
prosecutor.
Security
data was first reported to the Federal Transit Administration in 1995 and
were not compiled for earlier years.
Beginning
in 2002, data are no longer collected for the following offenses: sex
offenses, drug abuse violations, driving under the influence, drunkeness,
disorderly conduct, and curfew and loitering laws.
Analysts for the FTA believe the change in
reporting requirements in 2002 may have resulted in unreliable data in that
year. The reliability of reporting is believed to be much better in 2003 and
is expected to improve in the future.
