Products: n/a. Risk band: Elevated RobotRisk index 24.2/100 (incidents/exposure, time-weighted) · 73th percentile of 62 other companies.
The record holds a single entry: a Norristown light rail vehicle striking a bumping post, severity 4, with NTSB findings attributing the event to automatic train control system design. This is a single crash investigated and characterized by a federal safety board, a regulator-driven record rather than a press-driven one. One entry with no prior history indicates an isolated event rather than a demonstrated pattern. Index 24.4 and the 72.6th percentile place SEPTA in the elevated band, lower within that band than peers with repeat entries.
