The report reflects the need to analyze bus transit accident data as a means of deriving more refined hypotheses concerning accident causality, and the view that research should include a discussion of empirical findings, methodological concerns and policy implications. Accident report data for 1982-84 from PACE, the suburban bus agency within the Regional Transit Authority in the Chicago, Illinois metropolitan area, were analyzed to derive refined safety measures. The analysis of over 1800 accidents lead to the general conclusion that safety was well managed at the studied agencies. The report concludes with policy recommendations and future research and policy implications. The report provides a List of References and 3 Appendices. Appendix A contains an Annotated Bibliography (General and Bus Characteristics and Maintenance; Bus Drivers). Appendix B contains Information Available from Accident/Incident Reports. Appendix C includes the particular actions coded for bus and other vehicle actions.
