Abstract
The study is an analysis of transit crime data for the Southern California region. It examines safety and security deficiencies in transit design and recommends ways in which they can be ameliorated. The study contains the following: (1) development of security and safety objectives in the operation of major transit systems; (2) assessment of crime patterns and safety problems for selected regional transit corridors: (3) examination of the effectiveness of crime prevention by physical design of transit facilities; and (4) development of a reference document for safety and security design criteria in transit facilities.
