D-1 A P P E N D I X D Implementation Memo D.1 Overview TCRP Research Report 217 presents the results of TCRP Project F-26, "Improving the Health and Safety of Transit Workers with Corresponding Impacts on the Bottom Line." The report explores the types of health and safety issues that are most likely to impact transit workers, beginning with a review of the available literature (Gillespie, Wang, and Brown 2014)
