• Resources for more insight
![Page 4: CTAV 2003 Expo](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814ef7550346895dbc8737/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Risk Management
• Risk management is the method of dealing with uncertainty:– In your personal life & at home– In your business
• Risk management is the pursuit of control over those events we hope never happen, but could.
![Page 5: CTAV 2003 Expo](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814ef7550346895dbc8737/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Risk Management
• We each practice risk management daily:– Retirement planning– How we drive (choosing route, seatbelts, etc.)– Car, home, life insurance– Managing investments with care– Planning for future– Learning from the past
![Page 6: CTAV 2003 Expo](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814ef7550346895dbc8737/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Risk Management
• At work we see risk management:– Insurance– Proof of Insurance from others– Safety Programs– Hiring practices, audits, inspections– Review of past losses, crashes, injuries– Accident review boards
Lets define the process and look closer
![Page 7: CTAV 2003 Expo](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814ef7550346895dbc8737/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Risk Management Process
• Five Step Process:1. Establish Context (Set Goals)
2. Identify Actual Risks/Threats
3. Analyze and Prioritize Risks/Threats
4. Select Plan and Implement
5. Monitor Effectiveness of Plan and Modify as Needed
Simple, Huh?
![Page 8: CTAV 2003 Expo](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814ef7550346895dbc8737/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
1. Establish context for concerns
• What are our goals for implementing a risk management program (“big picture goals”)?– Financial security– Free up resources for other business goals– Preserve goodwill in the community (credibility)– Minimize needless suffering from injury,
damages, business interruption
How would we define a “victory” in one year?
![Page 9: CTAV 2003 Expo](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814ef7550346895dbc8737/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
1. Establish context for concerns
• Specific examples from your company?
How do you safeguard your company?
–Safety Policy Statement
–Risk Management Policy
–Business Plan
![Page 10: CTAV 2003 Expo](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814ef7550346895dbc8737/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
2. Identify Actual Risks/Threats
• Four major categories:
– People
– Property
– Income
– Goodwill (sustain business through credibility)
(sustain business through economics)
(place to run business)
(make the business run)
![Page 11: CTAV 2003 Expo](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814ef7550346895dbc8737/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
2. Identify Actual Risks/Threats
• How do we identify risks?
• What is the process?– Surveys– Checklists– Questionnaires– Consultants
![Page 12: CTAV 2003 Expo](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814ef7550346895dbc8737/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
2. Identify Actual Risks/Threats
• People:– Employee Injuries? Customer Injuries?
• Vehicle Collisions• Falls (boarding), Falls on property (slip/trip)• Harassment, Employment Practices• Child endangerment
Hurt people lead to lawsuits
![Page 13: CTAV 2003 Expo](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814ef7550346895dbc8737/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
2. Identify Actual Risks/Threats
• Property (damage to or loss of):
– Buildings
– Computer Equipment, Communications
– Vehicles, parts, maintenance equipment
– Data, records, intellectual property (proprietary software, databases, etc.)
Property issues are typically infrequent
![Page 14: CTAV 2003 Expo](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814ef7550346895dbc8737/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
2. Identify Actual Risks/Threats
• Property (damage to or loss of):
– Property of others (in transit or stored)
– Highly specialized equipment
– Marine exposures (ferry?)
– Floods, Extreme Weather, etc.
Property issues are typically infrequent
![Page 15: CTAV 2003 Expo](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814ef7550346895dbc8737/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
2. Identify Actual Risks/Threats
• Income (unplanned reduction in income):
– Loss of grants, Contract cancellation
– Ridership losses due to terrorism threats
– Embezzlement, fraud, etc.
Income issues are generally unusual
![Page 16: CTAV 2003 Expo](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814ef7550346895dbc8737/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
2. Identify Actual Risks/Threats
• Goodwill (credibility):
– Unfavorable news coverage
– Reputation for collisions, or poor performance
– Employee morale leading to perceptions of poor performance among riders
Goodwill issues are potentially devastating
![Page 17: CTAV 2003 Expo](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814ef7550346895dbc8737/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
3. Evaluate and Prioritize Risk
• A question of likelihood and potential consequence:– Meteor collisions are devastating, but so
unlikely that we could spend our time elsewhere– How do we place proper emphasis on each
potential risk?
![Page 18: CTAV 2003 Expo](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814ef7550346895dbc8737/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
3. Evaluate and Prioritize Risk
• Study past losses and problems • Study the history of similar operations (trade
groups, associations, networking, journals)• Bring in consultants:
– Insurance agent– Insurance loss control staff– Transportation specialists (leasing
company,etc)
![Page 19: CTAV 2003 Expo](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814ef7550346895dbc8737/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
4. Select and Implement a Plan
• Avoidance
• Modification (or “Risk Control”)
• Retention
• Risk Sharing or Risk Transfer
![Page 20: CTAV 2003 Expo](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814ef7550346895dbc8737/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
4. Select and Implement a Plan
• Avoidance:– The issue is likely to cause loss, the loss would
be consequential, no controls are practical and there is no opportunity to transfer or share the risk with someone else.
– Murphy's Law to the Extreme– “Just Don’t Do It”– Sometimes you walk away
![Page 21: CTAV 2003 Expo](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814ef7550346895dbc8737/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
4. Select and Implement a Plan
• Modification:
• Can the situation be improved to lessen the likelihood or severity of the loss?– Safety programs– Hiring guidelines– Training for managers and staff– Education for customers?
We will revisit this issue later
![Page 22: CTAV 2003 Expo](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814ef7550346895dbc8737/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
4. Select and Implement a Plan
• Retention (by design v. unintentional):– It may be efficient to take on the risk (or a
portion of the risk) directly• Deductibles• Self Insurance Fund
– Sometimes we take on risk without intending to do so (oops!)
• Coverage gaps• Pioneering new exposures
Consultant advice is helpful
![Page 23: CTAV 2003 Expo](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814ef7550346895dbc8737/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
4. Select and Implement a Plan
• Risk Sharing or Transfer:– Insurance coverage is a form of risk sharing– Pay for a contract that covers some or most of
risk of loss– Sometimes contracts (other than insurance) can
be used to share risk• “Hold Harmless”
• Assumption of Liability
Contract review is vital
![Page 24: CTAV 2003 Expo](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814ef7550346895dbc8737/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
5. Monitor and Modify
• Is the plan working? – Are losses down?– Were deductibles placed at the right levels?
• How do you define a victory? (review your goals)
• Is the firm meeting it’s business objectives (have resources been deployed effectively?)
Clearly, if the plan is not working – Try Again
![Page 25: CTAV 2003 Expo](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814ef7550346895dbc8737/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
5. Monitor and Modify
• Does the plan need to be updated to reflect:– new operations?– changes in case law?– changes in regulations?– changes in insurance availability (& price)?
The world never stops changing
![Page 26: CTAV 2003 Expo](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814ef7550346895dbc8737/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
5. Monitor and Modify
• Any examples or experiences from your company to share with the group?
The world never stops changing
![Page 27: CTAV 2003 Expo](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814ef7550346895dbc8737/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Fleet Safety
• Where do most collisions come from?– The “other” driver– Your operator
• Roughly 90% of all collisions due to driver behaviors, choices, actions
• The trick is knowing who needs help, before they have a collision
Use every tool available – try new things, too
![Page 43: CTAV 2003 Expo](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814ef7550346895dbc8737/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
