Safety Performance Indicators

• Passenger Injury Rate = N x 1,000,000/Passenger Miles

• MetroAccess Passenger Injury Rate = N x 100,000/Passenger Miles, where N resulting in transport for medical treatment

f f• N = Number of injuries requiring immediate transportation from the accident scene to a medical facility

• Preventable Accident – an accident that occurred because the employee failed to do everything reasonably expected of a trained professional to avoid involvement in aneverything reasonably expected of a trained professional to avoid involvement in an accident

• Non-Preventable Accident – an accident that occurs despite every reasonable action by the employee to avoid involvement in an accident.

• MetroAccess Preventable/Non-Preventable Injuries – Percentage of injuries that occurred onboard a vehicle (not collision related), off a vehicle, or as a result of a collision.

• Bus Collision Rate = N x 1,000,000/Vehicle Miles

• MetroAccess Collision Rate = N x 100,000/Service Miles

• Service Miles = The miles that vehicles are scheduled to or actually travel while in revenue service.
