OPERATING BUDGETDETAIL
PRESIDENT & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERFY 2022 PROPOSED OPERATING BUDGET
Operations Safety has 14 salaried employees and one administrative employee under the direction of the Vice President & Chief Safety Office (VP&CSO)
The VP&CSO reports directly to the President & Chief Executive Officer and is responsible for and oversees activities of personnel engaged in the development, implementation, and coordination and monitoring of DART’s Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan (PTASP)
The VP & CSO is responsible for developing and implementing programs to; 1) promote safe operations; 2) reduce or eliminate accidents, and 3) monitor the Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan (PTASP) compliance and maintenance under the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) Safety Management System (SMS) regulatory platform. The Operations Safety Team acts as a liaison between the agency and TxDOT/FTA as it relates to all safety matters.
Operations Safety operates under two sections, Operations Group and Compliance Group, to ensure the overall safety of the agency, employees, stakeholders and riding public and to meet FTA SMS requirements. The primary concern is the identification and elimination of hazards that threaten life and/or safety, as well as those which could cause damage to facilities, property, equipment and /or the environment.
The Operations GroupThis section is led by the Director of Operations Safety. Eight Safety Program Managers report directly to the Director. The Safety Program Managers are charged with investigating all major collision and safety events, as well as determining the preventability of accidents and incidents. They conduct audits on a routine basis to ensure safety practices and policies are being followed. The Director takes the leadership role of the Bus and Rail Safety Committees reporting to the DART Safety Committee.
The team ensures the Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan (PTASP) is implemented and reflects the current practices, based on the Safety Management System (SMS) platform. This team evaluates facility/maintenance operations to ensure safe operating conditions for employees, contractors, and the public. They facilitate safety training, implement safety programs, develops reports, and recommend changes to policies and procedures. They also develop protocols and oversee transit safety, industrial safety, and safe work practices of the agency’s activities.
FY 2022 PROPOSED OPERATING BUDGET 7
DEPARTMENT NARRATIVESAFETY DEPARTMENT CONTINUED
Mandatory quarterly safety training meetings are held each year for Transportation and Maintenance employees. The topics and curriculum are based upon current events, recurrent training required by law, or training required by changes in safety-related laws, regulations, guidelines, DART policy, standard operating procedures, and work instructions. This team operates on a covered watch schedule of 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to ensure an onsite response is available to resolve accidents/incidents without adversely impacting DART’s revenue service operations.
The Compliance Group The Safety and Compliance section is led by the Sr. Manager of Safety Data and Compliance. This group ensures DART complies with Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) rules/regulations to strengthen the safety of public transportation systems. FTA regulations mandate that agencies like DART, adopt Safety Management System (SMS) principles and methods; to develop, certify and implement actions for safe work environment and safe vehicles, systems, and facilities. Documentation of these practices can be found in the 49 CFR Part 673, Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan (PTASP) and the TxDOT Program Standard adhered to by FTA’s State Safety Oversight (SSO) Program, as stated in 49 CFR Part 674.
The Data compliance team ensures that Safety performance data is gathered monthly for reporting agency Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). These indicators are distributed to executive management and presented during the monthly DART Safety Committee meeting. Quarterly KPI updates are presented at the FTA Region VI meeting and are correlated with historical targets set by the VPs of Safety, Rail and Bus. Submittal of data to the National Transit Database (NTD) of Collisions, Fatalities, Injuries and Safety Events are additionally, a function of data compliance monthly reporting.
The Compliance Team offers a mandated Safety training designed to provide a safe work area free from the danger of working in the light rail system right-of-way or when fouling the track. This training is required for all rail specific employees, police, contractors, and anyone performing work within DART’s right of way. These requirements are found in the Light Rail Worker Protection Program (LRWPP) program manual. The rules and procedures in the LRWPP govern Light Rail Workers, train operator, streetcar operators, TCC/YOC personnel, any other person entering DART’s right-of-way. DART employees are required to learn and adhere to the regulations, along with the Light Rail System of Operating Rules and Standard Operating Procedure (SOP).
These two sections under Operations Safety ensure the agency has a cohesive Safety program that ensures the safety not only for the employees, but passengers and visitors to DART’s system.
