SacRT launched a survey in October 2024, to enhance safety and create a more respectful ride across our transit system. We asked for your input on key safety concerns, including the frequency and types of street harassment, and how perceptions of safety influence your decision to ride. Your feedback will help shape a safer, more inclusive experience for all riders. 

The survey is part of a statewide initiative led by California Senate Bill 1161 (2022), which directed the Mineta Transportation Institute at San Jose State University to create a tool to gather information about street harassment on public transit.

California Senate Bill 434 (2023) now requires the 10 largest transit agencies in the state, including SacRT, to use this tool to reach riders from underrepresented communities and those impacted by street harassment, ensuring their voices are heard and their safety concerns are addressed. 

The survey closed on November 10, 2024. The results of the transit safety outreach will be posted on this webpage in December 2024.
