The verdict

Dept Transportation runs at 114% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Bus operation, school and employee workplace, earning a grade C.

Dept Transportation: 5.2 TCR = 114% of Bus operation, school and employee BLS 4.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Dept Transportation safety composite

Dept Transportation scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 29%), 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).

Grade C

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Maryland alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #15 safest of 33 Bus operation, school and empl employers in Maryland.

Dept Transportation (946 employees, TCR 5.2) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 74 employees and a TCR of 4.3

Dept Transportation has more employees than the Bus operation, school and employee median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.3. 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.
