* Mortality rates were calculated as number of deaths per 100,000 workers and were not calculated for 2022 because of incomplete annual data. Reported rates are crude mortality rates. Cumulative mortality rate was calculated as total number of deaths during the study period per 100,000 workers, using average employment during the study period.
† Percentages were calculated as percentages of deaths among all public transportation industries.
