Public Transit

When a passenger is injured on or around public transportation systems, our consultants can evaluate the safety and human factors that resulted in the incident including environmental design, policies/procedures, warnings and the behavioral choices of involved parties. When people with disabilities are denied access or suffer injury while riding public transit, we can evaluate environmental design and the organizational factors such as training and adequacy of policies and procedures in order to determine why the incident occurred.
