The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (GCRTA) was organized with the mission to provide safe, secure, reliable, and effective transportation services to all users.
Safety and security are the primary concerns that affect all levels of GCRTA activities, including operations, maintenance, planning, design and construction, procurement, testing, and training for all modes of transportation. Therefore, all GCRTA personnel are charged with the responsibility of promoting the safety and security of passengers, employees, and the public, who come in contact with GCRTA transportation system.
The safety and security of our customers and our employees are GCRTA's greatest responsibility. In addition, all employees and contractors of the GCRTA are expected to conduct their duties in a safe manner that will prevent and minimize injuries and property damage throughout GCRTA's operations.
Each employee must; operate safely; properly utilize equipment, tools and materials; be totally familiar with work rules and procedures for their areas of responsibility. Each employee shall take an active role in the identification and reporting of hazards. Supervisors shall actively participate in the assessment and resolution of hazards and shall fully cooperate with the safety and security staffs to eliminate or control hazards in all areas of the GCRTA transportation system.
