Abstract

This Alertness 2000 Fatigue Symposium was sponsored by the Federal Transit Administration Office of Safety and Security in conjunction with the American Public Transportation Association. Fatigue has been identified as the cause of several accidents; therefore FTA has received a Congressional directive to conduct training for fatigue awareness. This symposium brought together experts from around the country and around the world, both within and outside the transit industry. The agenda includes subjects from operational and labour issues to the methods to identify risk for fatigue to the use of over-the-counter and prescribed medications. The focus of the symposium was on the need to develop effective tools for managing fatigue in transit.
