How to Conduct Transit Bus
Incident Event Investigation - Video and Report
The National Center for Transit Research (NCTR) at the
University of South Florida has released the
Transit Bus Incident Event Investigation video as a
streaming media presentation today. This 44 minute streaming
video provides resources and materials for transit incident
investigators and provides guidelines on how to conduct an
incident investigation. Topics discussed in this video include:
evidence collection, tire marks, skids, fluids, contact and
induced damage, exterior and interior damage, photographs, field
sketching, vehicle fires, event data recorders, interviews, drug
and alcohol testing, incident review boards, police reports,
grading systems, and guidelines for recordability. These
materials help focus the incident investigators attention to
determine causal factors, and establish corrective actions to
prevent similar incidents in the future.
The video was produced by NCTR with funding from Florida
Department of Transportation and US Department of
Transportation. For more information, contact Debbie
