Ride Assured.
MTS Security is available 24/7 by text or phone. If you see something suspicious, contact security or notify a bus or Trolley operator.
We want you to have a safe and secure ride. Our security team's top priority is keeping you, our community, and our employees safe. MTS passenger safety measures include:
- Increased staffing presence: In 2017, we implemented a security staffing plan to allow for greater coverage on the Trolley system. Train teams travel between 3 - 5 stations to cover the entire system throughout all service hours. Additionally, we have security team members stationed at some of our highest trafficked stations. In 2021, we launched a new Bus Enforcement Special Team to provide extra security assistance to bus operators and passengers.
- Improved Security Practices and Training: For the past several years, MTS has been making changes to its security policies and practices, to ensure our operations are in line with best in practice policies. Recent measures include increased training for internal and contract security staff, updated our use of force policy, conducted an outside audit, using more visible and customer friendly uniforms, and more.
- Security cameras: Cameras are installed on all MTS vehicles, and at all Trolley stations. Our dispatch team has access to security cameras at all times, and actively monitors them 24/7.
- You: Our passengers are essential to keeping a secure transit system, which is why we urge you to contact security if you witness something suspicious.
