Transit Safety (PTASP)

Public Transit Agency Safety Plans are a means for transit providers to monitor and improve the safety of their transit systems. A core component of the process is monitoring and establishing targets for a series of performance measures related to:
  • Major Safety Events
  • Fatalities
  • Injuries
  • Assaults on Transit Workers
  • System Reliability
Transit providers in the region establish and report targets annually, and NCTCOG as the MPO establishes regional targets with a four-year time horizon. RTC adopted initial targets in May 2021, and the next target-setting action is anticipated in July 2025. The Transit Management and Planning team coordinates these measures.
