The verdict

METRO runs at 90% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Commuter transit systems, mixed mode (e.g., bus, commuter rail, subway combination) workplace, earning a grade C.

METRO: 4.0 TCR = 90% of Commuter transit systems, mixed mode (e.g., bus, commuter rail, subway combination) BLS 4.5 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

METRO safety composite

METRO scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 71% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
