FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Revenue vs. Non-Revenue Facility   What is the difference between a ‘Revenue Facility’ and a ‘Non-Revenue Facility?’

According to the National Transit Database Safety & Security Module manual, ‘Revenue Facilities’ include “…transit stations and transit centers…A facility is controlled by the transit system if it is maintained and repaired by the system. Such facilities (or portions of facilities) may include bus bays within transit centers owned by a city or rail transit maintained portions of facilities...owned by commuter rail agencies.”

‘Non-Revenue Facilities’ include “administrative and maintenance buildings and transit owned parking facilities.” Bus stops along a route are not facilities.

 
Reporting Major Security Events   Where do I report security incidents as major events?

You report major security incidents on the Major Incident Reporting form (S&S-40), the same form you use for major safety incidents. The thresholds are the same.
