| Safety and Security (Crime) Data
Problems |
(A brief discussion on why much safety and security data are non-comparable.)
|
| SAFETY (NON-CRIME) |
NOTE: Beginning in 1997, data are available for both directly
operated and purchased service for all systems. For 1995 and 1996, data are only
available for directly-operated service and those purchased service providers operating
100 or more vehicles at any time; purchased service providers operating less than 100
vehicles were exempt from providing safety data.

| SECURITY (CRIME) |
NOTE: Beginning in 1997, data are available for both directly
operated and purchased service for all systems in urbanized areas of 200,000 or more
population. For 1995 and 1996 data are only available for directly-operated service
and those purchased service providers operating 100 or more vehicles at any time in
urbanized areas of 200,000 or more population; purchased service providers operating less
than 100 vehicles and all agencies in urbanized areas with less than 200,000 population
are exempt from providing security data.
CAUTION: 1995
WAS THE FIRST YEAR SECURITY DATA WERE COLLECTED BY THE FEDERAL TRANSIT
ADMINISTRATION. MANY AGENCIES ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH FTA REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
DUE TO INABILITY TO OBTAIN COMPLETE INFORMATION FROM LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES IN
THEIR AREAS. DATA IN THESE TABLES ARE INCOMPLETE IN MANY CASES AND SHOULD NOT BE
USED IN COMPARISONS.

| CAUTION: Data reported
are NOT comparable between transit agencies. Offenses such as
vandalism, drunkenness, and fare evasion are reported if an arrest is made, but are not
reported if only a citation is issued or the perpetrator is unknown. Because some
security agencies may arrest people for such offenses, while others may only issue
citations, these data are inherently non-comparable. |
