Every day, public transit agencies keep their cities, counties and regions on the move. From the perspective of most people, the system “just works”. Operating an integrated transportation system, however, is no easy task. Public transit agencies function in highly complex, challenging—and ever-changing—environments. Whether renovating or building new stations or roadways, adding new technology, maintaining infrastructure, bringing new equipment on-line, or just dealing with day-to-day unforeseen challenges, transit employees diligently and professionally deliver on-time and with customer-friendly service.
Keeping the workforce safe and injury free while attending to the demands of running a complex operation requires continual attention to issues such as:
- managing safety performance across multiple, complex environments
- adapting best-in-class injury prevention methods to the unique needs of transit employees and operations
- strengthening partnerships between union and management constituencies around safety issues
- advancing safety performance without adding to the complexity of existing policies and procedures
BST's staff includes experts in public transit safety who work with our clients to create sustainable safety performance improvement that satisfies the unique needs and challenges of this sector. BST's work with public transit agencies has shown promising results.
