Transit Watch is an innovative program and mobile application that ensures the security of vehicles and passengers.
From increased patrols and electronic surveillance, to unannounced security sweeps of vehicles and facilities, we take every precaution to ensure the security of our customers.
By downloading the Transit Watch app you can help us with security by reporting suspicious activity. It's quick, easy and you can remain anonymous.
In the event of an emergency, always call 911.
Reports submitted through the Transit Watch app go directly to a security dispatcher who can instantly deploy a security guard and, if necessary, notify the police.
The app can significantly reduce first-response times. Any security guard at a Metrorail station can be alerted to wait for the identified rail car at the platform on its next stop.
You can discreetly text-message ride quality issues using the Chat feature. The person being reported will be unaware of your actions.
