The verdict

Transportation runs at 149% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Bus operation, school and employee workplace, earning a grade D.

Transportation: 6.7 TCR = 149% of Bus operation, school and employee BLS 4.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Transportation safety composite

Transportation scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 22%), 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).

Transportation (76 employees, TCR 6.7) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 74 employees and a TCR of 4.3

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.
