Transecure
Safety for All
Transecure is a community watch program on wheels. OC Transpo employees are the eyes and ears on our roads. We look out for the safety of all people and offer refuge in any of our vehicles for anyone who needs it (not only transit riders!).
- Our employees are trained to respond to safety and security issues. These includes medical emergencies, break-ins, accidents, fires, suspicious situations. Basically any incidents when someone feels unsafe or threatened.
- We’re on the road 24/7
- We have around 600 buses, plus the O-Train, cars and service trucks on street at rush hour
- We work with emergency services: three police services (Ottawa Police Service, OPP and RCMP), Ottawa Fire, Paramedic Services and Transit Special Constables. We handle an average of 3 calls a day
- The Transecure Awards recognize employees who provide an outstanding response to safety and security issues
Transecure initiatives
Here are our top three activities under the Transecure flagship:
Let OC Transpo Know Campaign
Any incident is one too many. We encourage you to report any suspicious or criminal behaviour on buses, trains, or anywhere on the transit system.
You can report to OC Transpo or Ottawa Police Service through the online reporting system or any available channel.
Submit an incidentNight Stop
Many stations have a Night Stop. At these stations, after 9 pm all routes serve the Night Stop. Look for the yellow TRANSECURE logo to know where to catch the bus.
The Night Stop is:
- Centrally located, in an open area
- Well-lit
- Close to emergency call boxes or payphones

Safe Stop
Ask your bus driver!
The SafeStop lets you request a safer, closer stop along the bus route after 7 pm.
How it works:
- When you're on the bus, simply ask your bus driver for a SafeStop.
- The bus driver will let you off closer to your destination along the route.
