Recommendation(s):
That the Council adopt a resolution approving Chapel Hill Transit's Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan.
Background:
* Chapel Hill Transit (CHT) strives to provide safe, reliable, comfortable, and innovative transportation options to every member of the community. The Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan (PTASP) has been developed to integrate safety into all CHT system operations. By using the procedures contained in the PTASP, CHT can continue to improve the safety and security of CHT's operation and services.
* This PTASP describes the policies, procedures, and requirements to be followed by management, maintenance, and operations personnel to provide a safe environment for CHT employees, customers, and the general public.
* The goal of this program is to eliminate the human and fiscal cost of avoidable personal injury and vehicle collisions.
* CHT must be aware that decisions and actions often affect the safety of those in other operations. By following the processes described in the PTASP, CHT will continue to improve performance and the safety of the system while creating a culture of safety.
Fiscal Impact/Resources: There are no fiscal impacts to adopting the PTASP. Failure to prepare and execute a PTASP could result in loss of federal funding and grant opportunities This plan will be executed with existing staff resources.
