For all metrics, a raw score will be determined, converted to a -3/+3 scale and then weighted accordingly. For some metrics it is
apparent how the raw score will be determined, while for others we are developing more detailed guidance.

Strategies include addressing bicycle, pedestrian, and truck/bus involved crashes. Other transit safety metrics are covered in the
Reliability and System Preservation areas.
