Your safety and peace of mind are among our top priorities. As one of North America’s safest transit systems, we’re committed to making your transit experience safe and enjoyable. |
|
Over 300,000 transit trips are made each day and we want each trip to be a safe one. But there are times, like at night, when you can feel insecure and situations, such as slippery sidewalks, that can pose a hazard. By taking precautions and working together, we can reduce risks and improve safety.
