The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Office of Research, Demonstration and Innovation (TRI) is offering this grant to develop a comprehensive transit safety research roadmap. This grant is for the purpose of guiding future research efforts, ensuring they effectively support transit safety and potential new legislation. Key tasks include assessing existing safety research models applicable to FTA, conducting a background review of transit safety data to identify priority research areas, and determining how safety research should support new FTA-sponsored rail transit safety legislation, if passed, and transit operations generally. The goal is to enhance overall transit safety through strategic research planning.
