  • When the Wheels on the Bus Stop Going Round and Round: Occupational Injuries, Illnesses, and Fatalities in Public Transportation
    February 2015 errata On May 28, 2015, a correction was made to paragraph four under “BLS survey of occupational injuries and illnesses” in this article. The sentence, as originally published, incorrectly identified the cost of security cameras on buses as $18,000 per camera rather than per bus. When the wheels on the bus stop going round and round: occupational injuries, illnesses, and fatalities in public transportation Injuries and illnesses to bus drivers endanger not only their lives but also the lives of their passengers. In 2013, approximately 5,780 transit and intercity bus drivers experienced a days-away-from-work injury or illness while on the job. This article explores occupational injuries, illnesses, and fatalities to bus drivers and urban transit workers and examines how individual transit systems are collecting and analyzing their own employee safety data. The findings reveal that mass transit systems have taken steps to protect their employees from harm on the job and that injuries and illnesses to bus drivers and urban transit workers have declined in recent years. In October 2012, a Washington (DC) Metropolitan Area Gina Dowdell Hunter Transit Authority (WMATA) bus driver was hospitalized after [email protected] a rock was thrown through an open window and hit her Gina Dowdell Hunter is an economist in the Office 1 head while she was driving.

  • Attacks on Bus Operators and Passengers
    Sensitive But Unclassified Material For Official Use Only Attacks on Bus Operators and Passengers Special Report Prepared by the ST, PT and OTRB ISACs May 4, 2015 Purpose In light of recent violent incidents targeting transit operators in numerous areas around the globe, the Surface Transportation (ST), Public Transportation (PT), and Over the Road Bus (OTRB) ISACs are providing this special report for your general security awareness. The application of any standards or guidance discussed herein is strictly voluntary. The practices implemented by rail, transit, and OTRB systems may be either more or less restrictive than any recommended practices or guidance given in this document. In some cases, federal and/or state regulations govern portions of public transit systems’ operations. In those cases, government regulations should take precedence over the information or guidance provided herein. Organizations should consult their own Agency’s/Organization’s policies and guidance before taking any actions based on the information presented in these documents. This document supplements guidance and analysis already provided in daily reports produced by the ST, PT, & OTRB ISACs. Of note, the last page of this report lists references for additional information. To contact an ST and PT ISAC analyst please call 866-784-7221, or email [email protected]. To contact an OTRB ISAC analyst please call 877-847-5510, or email [email protected] 1 Sensitive But Unclassified Material For Official Use Only Introduction The security of transit system and interstate bus operators has become an increasing concern for many metropolitan areas. Some attribute the perceived rise in attacks against operators as an artifact of increased reporting, but when that element of information is factored into the analysis, there still appears to be a notable surge in violent behavior targeting transit workers; particularly against bus drivers, who may remain the most vulnerable.

  • Pennscore Operator Training Manual
    O P E R A T O R T R A I N I N G M A N U A L April, 2002 PennSCORE Operator Training Manual This manual was the brainchild of, and was originally prepared by, Dave Kilmer of Red Rose Transit Authority as part of the PennSCORE program. The manual is designed to be used by transit systems in PA for training new bus operators. It is also designed as a tool for PennSCORE graduates to use in training. This manual is generic, which means that the material contained herein can be used in many different transit environments. Information specific to a particular system, such as route descriptions, needs to be added in the appropriate sections. These sections contain notes suggesting the addition of system-specific information. Places where other training resources might be appropriate are also noted. These resources are typically videos, many of which were used in the PennSCORE program—all are available from PennTRAIN Comments and suggestions from Jim Parks and Dennis Fuge, Cambria County Transit Authority (CamTRAN), are greatly appreciated. They took the generic manual and added system-specific material for use at CamTRAN. A copy of their version is also available from PennTRAIN as an example of how this manual can be adapted for local use. Copies of this manual are available from PennTRAIN.

  • North Dakota
    NORTH DAKOTA SCHOOL BUS DRIVER’S GUIDE MARCH 2015 EDITION DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Kirsten Baesler, STATE SUPERINTENDENT Bismarck, North Dakota 58505-0440 2 A MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Over 40,000 students are transported each day to North Dakota schools in school buses. The safety of these students and the efficiency of a district's transportation program depends on the dedicated men and women who accept the important responsibility of driving our school buses. This publication is the thirteenth edition of the handbook for North Dakota school bus drivers. We hope that this handbook answers many questions and gives school bus drivers the necessary guidelines to perform effectively and efficiently. Driving a school bus involves much more than merely driving a vehicle on the highways. The school bus driver must also be responsible for the safety and welfare of children, must be teacher by example, must promote good public relations, and must understand how to properly use and care for the school bus, a complex and expensive piece of equipment. The purpose of this guide is to provide each school bus driver with the basic information needed to develop the skills, attitudes, and knowledge that result in safe and efficient driving. It is my sincere hope that each of North Dakota's school bus drivers will study and properly apply the information presented in this guide to assure a safer transportation program for our students. Driving a school bus is one of the most important jobs we have in our school systems. You carry our state’s most precious resource.

PERFORMANCE DASHBOARDS Attached are FY 20 Year to Date performance dashboards, FY 2018 – 2020 Strategic Plan performance goal status update, FY 20 Action Plan status update, and a listing of major capital projects being undertaken by staff. Executive Staff will be on hand to answer any questions you may have regarding these items. The current Performance Dashboard metrics have been in place and reported to the MST Board in a variety of formats for decades. These metrics are the same as those traditionally utilized by transit operators and regulators and have been designed to allow public transit operator management to operate their services more “like a business” to ensure the best use of scarce taxpayer funds. • Safety – Miles Travelled Between Preventable Accidents • Reliability – On-time Performance, Percent of Scheduled Trips Delivered, Miles Travelled between Mechanical Failure • Effectiveness – Ridership Growth/Decline • Efficiency – Passengers Per Hour, Cost per Hour, Farebox Recovery • Financial Stability – Actual Costs vs Budget In recent years some public transit advocates have argued that there may be better measures to track performance guided by community values.

  • Impacts of the Cedar Avenue Driver Assist System on Bus Shoulder Operations
    Impacts of the Cedar Avenue Driver Assist System on Bus Shoulder Operations Impacts of the Cedar Avenue Driver Assist System on Bus Shoulder Operations Brian Pessaro, University of South Florida Abstract This paper summarizes the first comprehensive evaluation of vehicle assist and automation (VAA) technology in bus revenue service by a U.S. transit agency. The technology in question is a GPS-based technology suite used by the Minnesota Val­ ley Transit Authority for vehicle guidance in the shoulder. Called the Driver Assist System, or DAS, it provides accurate lane position feedback to the driver via a head- up display, virtual mirror, vibrating seat, and actuated steering. The evaluation confirmed that the DAS improved bus operations and reduced driver stress. Driv­ ers stayed in the shoulders 4.3 percent longer, drove 3.5 miles per hour faster, and reduced their side-to-side movement by 4.7 inches when the DAS was activated. The changes in speed and side-to-side movement were statistically significant at the 95% confidence level. In surveys, a majority of the drivers believed the DAS made driving in the shoulder safer and less stressful. Literature Review The Driver Assist System (DAS) installed on the buses of the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority (MVTA) is a form of vehicle assist and automation (VAA) tech­ nology. The purpose behind VAA is to create an “intelligent” vehicle that is capable of understanding the environment around it. VAA can be categorized into systems that provide collision warning to the driver, systems that take partial control of the vehicle, and systems that take full control of the vehicle (Bishop 2000).
