CINCINNATI —Connecticut Transit (CTTransit), was recently awarded the 2010 Certificate of Merit for Safety by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA). A Certificate of Merit is given by the APTA to organizations in recognition of exceptional achievement in safety or security. First Transit - the leading provider of passenger transportation contract and management services in the United States –manages the every day operations for CTTransit.
“Through our proactive approach towards safety, our staff was able to accomplish a reduction in accidents and reach many of our other safety goals,” said James Bradford, assistant general manager, CTTransit. “The safety of the passengers we transport daily is our core value and it is an honor to be recognized for our safety processes.”
For many years now, First Transit and CTTransit have evaluated their safety procedures and have actively looked for the most beneficial processes to both increase safety and minimize risk. The organization was able to receive this year’s award as a result of focusing on retraining their employees on safety procedures including pedestrian collisions and mobility device turnovers. With this retraining, employees have shown an improved sense of safety and recognition of important procedures.
