Source: Federal Transit Administration, Safety and Security Statistics. Data reported include about 560 of the largest transit agencies.
(a) Data may significantly understate total since data for urbanized areas under 200,000 population not reported by the FTA comprises a significant portion of these modes.
(b) Only includes injuries occurring while entering/exiting a vehicle or within stations/stops, (e.g., slips, trips and falls). Excludes injuries resulting from collisions, derailment/buses going off road and fires.
(c) Discontinuous between 2001 and 2002 because casualties prior to 2002 included all reported casualties. In 2002, only casualties requiring immediate medical treatment away from the scene were considered.
