Transit Safety Management and Performance Measurement Volume 1: Guidebook
The U.S. Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has released a guidebook on the development and implementation of safety management systems (SMS) and safety performance measurement systems.
According to the FTA, SMS offer the most promising means of preventing public transportation accidents by integrating safety into all aspects of a transit system's activities. SPMS help bring clarity to vague concepts, aid transit agencies in identifying gaps in safety performance, and assist management and governing boards in improving safety performance.
