The verdict

RTA runs at 184% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Bus transit systems (except mixed mode) workplace, earning a grade D.

RTA: 8.3 TCR = 184% of Bus transit systems (except mixed mode) BLS 4.5 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

RTA safety composite

RTA scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 24%), 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).

RTA has more employees than the Bus transit systems (except mixed mode) median and a higher 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.
