The American Public Transportation Association recently awarded SouthWest Transit its 2016 Certificate of Merit for Safety and 2016 Certificate of Merit for Security for bus systems with fewer than 4 million passenger trips annually, according to a news release.
“SouthWest Transit was recognized for instituting changes in safety culture leading to zero lost days as a result of injury, a chargeable accident rate of less than .63 per 100,000 miles driven, as well as for creating an exceptional Emergency Preparedness Plan that is useful for day-to-day activities as well as emergency situations,” the release said.
