Lets count on each other for a safe ride
Be involved. Be informed. Be alert. Be prepared.
These 4 Bs are your ticket to a safe, secure ride.
Be involved in a lifesaving partnership:
transit employees and passengers
As a resource, transit employees provide a wealth of specialized knowledge and on-the-job experience. Likewise, transit passengers contribute to the security equation by providing thousands of extra eyes and ears capable of identifying possible life-threatening situations.
When transit employees and transit passengers pool these resources, the result is a highly effective first line of defense against a potential natural or man-made disaster. So, please make a commitment to becoming an alert, informed, prepared and involved member of this employee-passenger partnership.
Rest assured, your efforts will go a long way toward enhancing the safety and security of our transit system.
