The verdict

CyRide runs at 86% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Bus transit systems (except mixed mode) workplace, earning a grade C.

CyRide: 3.9 TCR = 86% of Bus transit systems (except mixed mode) BLS 4.5 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

CyRide safety composite

CyRide scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).

CyRide has more employees than the Bus transit systems (except mixed mode) median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 5.3. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
