Honoring The Legacy
Throughout the history of public transportation in North America, APTA and its member organizations have consistently advocated safety as a core value and top priority of the industry.
APTA is proud to commemorate the 100th anniversary (1914-2014) of the transit safety awards program, presented by APTA and its predecessor associations and known currently as the Bus and Rail Safety & Security Excellence Awards.
The year-long commemoration was featured in each of the respective awards presentations, conference sessions, and publications, as well as an interactive display at the 2014 Annual Meeting & Expo in Houston, which highlighted the theme of Commemorating 100 Years of Safety Innovations.
