The verdict

USU: 5.4 TCR = 121% of Freight Transportation BLS 4.5 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)
USU safety composite
USU scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 72% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 52%), 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).
