| Celebrating 100 Years of Transit Safety |
|
APTA is honoring the 100th anniversary of its transit safety awards program by compiling a timeline of safety innovations, systems, and programs that have changed public transit.
The timeline, in its early stages of development, tracks such landmark innovations as windshield wipers (1904, New York) and the first deadman’s switch in cabs and trippers at trackside (1918, Brooklyn) to the first patented traffic signal (1923, Cleveland) and computer-controlled heavy rail transit system (1972, Bay Area Rapid Transit District, San Francisco).
What additional milestones should the timeline recognize? Submit your suggestions and photos here.
When complete, the timeline will note the industry’s 100 most innovative safety tools, technologies, and practices. APTA will highlight the year-long commemoration in conference awards presentations, sessions, and special publications, and with an interactive display at the 2014 Annual Meeting & EXPO in Houston.
