OmniTrans Bus Stop Safety Improvement Plan

Implementation

5.6.3 Program Implementation Program and Infrastructure implementation (phases 3 and 4) can be pursued concurrently but can be implemented separately. Both program and infrastructure pursuits have the same goal, which is to improve safety for the transit user, but the approaches are different. Programs entail marketing, communications and community engagement activities and can be implemented much quicker than infrastructure projects since they don’t require time intensive tasks such as surveying, engiTable 5-32: Implementation Chart - Program Implementation

neering, permits, etc. Depending on the program being developed, they can be integrated into an infrastructure project, especially if it’s a new facility type in a city such as a traffic circle or a BRT line, that the community might not be familiar with. For example, in 2014 Omnitrans launched a safety campaign for their sbX Rapid Transit Line which was new to the region. Programs such as a Transit Ambassador program does require more coordination since this potentially involves unarmed officers patrolling bus stops and transit centers within local jurisdictions. There are also programs and grants available that assist with issues of homelessness, mobile crisis-intervention, and to educate passengers to be aware of their surroundings.
