Developed in conjunction with the Texas Department of Transportation

Safety is a core business function of all public transportation providers and should be systematically applied to every aspect of service delivery.  At Harris County Transit, all levels of management, administration and operations are responsible for the safety of their clientele and themselves.  To improve public transportation safety to the highest practicable level in the State of Texas and comply with FTA requirements, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has developed this Agency Safety Plan (ASP) in collaboration with Harris County and Harris County Transit, which is a division of the Harris County Community Services Department.
