The 574 light rail events reported in 2013 represent a 12% increase from 2012. This percentage is more than double the average annual increase of 5.7% reported since 2007 and is the highest number reported over this period.

Heavy rail accounted for 116 fatalities in 2013. This was the highest fatality total for heavy rail during the sevenyear period, and is significantly higher than the next highest rail mode, light rail, which reported 35 fatalities in 2013. Since 2007, heavy rail has accounted for nearly 75% of all fatalities. Since 2007, SSOAs have reported a slight but steady average increase of 3.2% in fatalities reported due to light rail events. The 35 fatalities reported due to light rail events in 2013 is a 25.5% decrease from the highest total reported for the period analyzed (47, reported in 2012), and is above the reported annual average of 31.57 fatalities. Page 15

There were no fatalities resulting from streetcar events in 2013, continuing a downward trend from the high of 3 reported in 2007 and 2008. SSOAs continued to report low numbers of fatalities at Other rail modes in 2013.

Public fatalities accounted for 74% of all fatalities reported in 2013, the lowest percentage of total fatalities during the seven-year period for this person type. Note: The Public category includes all suicide and trespassing-related fatalities. Page 16

Over the 7 years analyzed, public fatalities make up 78% of all fatalities reported by the SSOAs. There were 8 worker fatalities in 2013, resulting from workplace accidents and medical emergencies. This is the highest annual total of worker fatalities during the seven-year period.

The 260 passenger injuries reported in 2013 are below the industry annual average of 292.57 injuries, and represent the second lowest annual injury total for passengers over the entire period analyzed. Patrons (customers not onboard a transit vehicle) represent the largest annual increase in injuries, averaging a 29.3% increase per year since 2007. Page 18

In 2013, SSOAs reported 140 patron injuries, which is the first decrease in reported patron injuries since 2009. Public injuries continue to decline from the high of 251 reported in 2008 to 161 in 2013.
