DOT-Transportation runs at 270% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Highway Mainenance workplace, earning a grade F.

DOT-Transportation: 7.6 TCR = 270% of Highway Mainenance BLS 2.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

DOT-Transportation safety composite

DOT-Transportation scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 8%), 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).
