Transit Safety can be used to document safety issues and manage corrective actions or mitigation activities.
Each transit ride must be carefully executed to ensure the safety, security, and timeliness of service. Safety is the highest priority for transit agencies. Even with the best foresight, unexpected events can occur. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) recently adopted the practice of safety management systems (SMS) to improve transit safety. Implementing an SMS helps transit agencies continuously improve system safety. Rapid data collection and high-quality reporting can lead to process improvements across organizations. Visualizing this data over time allows transit agencies to identify trends and implement changes that address safety issues. Transit Safety is typically implemented by transit agencies that want to adopt an SMS to improve transit services and save lives.
The Transit Safety solution delivers a set of capabilities that help you document events (accidents, incidents, and occurrences), report hazards, create work assignments, dispatch field staff for mitigation activities, and monitor the status of safety events and hazards across the transit system.
Deploy the solution
This solution can be deployed in your ArcGIS organization.
See Deploying a solution for more information.
Requirements
Transit Safety requires the following:
- ArcGIS Online
- ArcGIS Pro 2.9 or later
- ArcGIS Field Maps
- ArcGIS Workforce
Information products
Transit Safety includes the following information products:
| Item | Description | Minimum user type |
|---|---|---|
| Transit Event Reporter | AnArcGIS Survey123 form used by transit safety staff to document the initial event report of an accident, incident, or occurrence. | Contributor |
| Transit Hazard Reporter | An ArcGIS Survey123 form used by the general public or transit staff to report a safety hazard issue. | Contributor (required for transit staff only) |
| Transit Safety Manager | A Crowdsource Manager app used by transit safety staff to manage safety event investigations and hazard risk assessments and mitigation. | Contributor |
| Transit Safety Dashboard | An ArcGIS Dashboards app used by transit safety staff to monitor events and hazards across the transit system. | Viewer |
| Transit Mitigation Assignments | An ArcGIS Workforce project used by transit staff to manage mitigation activities in the field and track the resolution of each. Field users access the Transit Mitigation Assignments project using the ArcGIS Workforce mobile app. | Mobile Worker |
| Transit Field Mitigations | An ArcGIS Field Maps map used by transit staff to update the status of a mitigation activity while in the field. | Mobile Worker |
| Transit Data Management | An ArcGIS Pro project used by transit staff to convert a GTFS public transit dataset to route and stop features and manage service change communication. | Creator |
When you deploy this solution in your ArcGIS organization, you also get a solution item that organizes the key information products and summarizes all the ArcGIS items (applications, forms, projects, maps, feature layers, feature layer views, and so on) included with the solution. The solution item also illustrates any dependencies items have on each other.
