Md. MTA, KCATA Take the Gold; Agencies Win Top Safety, Security Honors
The Maryland Transit Administration (Md. MTA) in Baltimore and the Kansas City Area (MO) Transportation Authority (KCATA) received Gold Awards in the 2016 APTA Bus Safety and Security Excellence Awards, presented May 15 during the Opening General Session.
APTA selects the winning systems based on four criteria: project effectiveness, benefits accrued directly from the positive impact of the program, innovativeness and project transferability that allows other systems to replicate the success.
Md. MTA received Gold Awards for both Safety and Security among public transit systems with 20 million or more annual bus passenger trips, while KCATA received both honors among agencies with more than four million and fewer than 20 million bus passenger trips annually.
The following organizations received Certificates of Merit:
Systems with fewer than four million passenger trips annually: SouthWest Transit, Eden Prairie, MN, both safety and security.
Systems with more than four million and fewer than 20 million passenger trips annually: Fort Worth (TX) Transportation Authority, both safety and security.
Systems with more than 20 million passenger trips annually: safety, MTA New York City Transit; security, Pace Suburban Bus, Arlington Heights, IL; in the private sector, MV Transportation DBA Fairfax Connector, Fairfax, VA.
The APTA Bus Safety & Security Excellence Awards recognize public transportation organizations for their innovative and proactive programs dedicated to improving safety and security for their employees, passengers and the public.
The top honor is the Gold Award, given to agencies with the best overall bus safety or bus security program selected by an independent panel of judges. Certificates of Merit go to public transit systems in recognition of exceptional achievement in safety or security.
