20 <br /> Orange County Transportation Services Agency Safety Plan <br /> The safety data collected from the above sources will be analyzed by OCTS for potential safety <br /> impacts. Data are compared against performance trends by the Operations Manager to determine <br /> where Actions needs to be taken. OCTS is committed to using the data collected and information <br /> learned from mitigation efforts to inform decision making and instill positive change. The main <br /> objective of all safety mitigations is the improvement of transit system safety. The mechanism for <br /> monitoring safety risk mitigations varies depending on the mitigation. OCTS's Operations Manager <br /> and OCTS's Safety Committee monitor operations to identify mitigations that may be ineffective, <br /> inappropriate, or not implemented as intended. <br /> When performance goals are not met, OCTS will work to identify why such goals were not met and <br /> what actions can be taken to minimize the gap in achieving defined goals. <br /> • Identify why the mitigations were unsuccessful <br /> • Identify unrealistic expectations that may have been hampering process <br /> • GAP analysis <br /> • Create new mitigation strategies <br /> • Help make informed resource allocation decisions <br /> • Identify improvements <br /> • Reassessment <br /> Internally reported safety concerns can be recorded through an incident report or through the ESRP. <br /> These safety concerns are either handled immediately bythe Safety/Training Manager and/or brought <br /> to the attention of OCTS Safety Manager and the Safety Committee as needed. All concerns are filed <br /> for data/record keeping purposes. <br />
