MBTA BEGINS PROGRAM TO REDUCE ACCIDENTS

THE MASSACHUSETTS BAY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY IN OCTOBER 1972 INITIATED AN INCENTIVE SAFETY PROGRAM FOR MBTA OPERATORS TO REDUCE THE INCIDENCE OF TRAFFIC AND PASSENGER ACCIDENTS ON ITS STREETCAR, BUS, AND TRACKLESS TROLLEY LINES. SIX SURFACE RATING STATIONS WILL COMPETE TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS PER REVENUE MILE. EACH MONTH THE STATION THAT SHOWS THE GREATEST PERCENTAGE IMPROVEMENT IN ITS ACCIDENT RECORD OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS WILL RECEIVE GIFT CERTIFICATES FOR ITS OPERATORS. DURING THE SPRING OF 1973 THE PROGRAM WILL BE EVALUATED, AND A DECISION WILL BE MADE ON EXTENDING THE TRIAL PERIOD OR MAKING THE PROGRAM A PERMANENT PART OF THE MBTA SAFETY PROGRAM.
