Transit Safety Management – Transit Safety & Industry Implementation
FTA is encouraging industry-wide adoption of safety management principles in risk-based safety management practices. The first-hand experience shared by rail transit agencies who have been working to implement safety management in their organizations can provide important insights on how you organizations can begin to adopt safety management principles. As part of the 2017 APTA Rail Conference, learn how your agency can become proactive in managing safety by updating your programs to identify safety hazards, strengthen control of safety risks, put safety mitigations in place and correct safety problems before they occur. FTA's Paulina Orchard, Safety Management System Implementation Pilot Program Manager and Bus Safety Program Manager, will speak on a panel with representatives from transit systems and private industry that are or have been implementing safety management concepts.
