PRACTICAL TRANSIT BUS ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION: FROM EVIDENCE TO REPORT

This two-day seminar has been developed to provide transit agencies with the structure necessary to successfully conduct a bus collision investigation. The chain of events and contributing factors-human and environmental, the evidence analysis, and detailed documentation are critical to conducting a complete investigation of transit bus accidents. This two-day course has been specifically designed to guide transit agencies of all sizes in relevant, standardized ways to conduct a bus collision investigation.
 
Discussions will include the purpose of safety investigations, working with local law enforcement, FRA/FTA/WSDOT roles and requirements, NTSB role and investigative process, notifications-internal and external, and the incident command/NIMS. The training will include a series of tabletop exercises with various accident/incident scenarios that serve to draw out organizational and technical aspects of bus incident investigation.

Transit operations supervisors, road supervisors, transit safety and security managers, operations and maintenance managers, state transit regulatory personnel, or other transit employer representatives, who may be called to an accident scene.
