Safety and Security
Safewatch
Every C-TRAN bus, van and vehicle is also a SafeWatch vehicle with instant access to emergency help. For you, that means a safe-house on wheels; just flag down a C-TRAN vehicle if you need help. Since SafeWatch has been in effect, C-TRAN employees have reported accidents and burglaries, provided information on runaways and helped with lost children.
See Something/Say Something
Part of a national campaign that promotes security on transit, C-TRAN has produced the See Something - Say Something brochure in cooperation with The City of Vancouver, The Vancouver Police Department, and The Esther Short Neighborhood Association. It has been widely distributed to local Vancouver neighborhoods, and enlists the help of all citizens to make their communities safer. If you would like copies of this brochure, please call 360-696-4494.
SafeStop
After 8:00 p.m., passengers who are traveling alone can request that their driver stop anywhere along their bus route, where safety allows. This program is extended into daylight hours during adverse weather situations such as snow and ice, or other emergency situations.
Surveillance Cameras
Most C-TRAN buses and transit centers have surveillance cameras for your added safety and security.
Roaming Supervisors
C-TRAN's supervisors roam our transit service area to provide an additional security presence.
Radio Communication
All C-TRAN coach operators and supervisors have direct radio access to 911 emergency dispatch.
Adopt-a-Stop
C-TRAN provides groups and individuals with an opportunity to adopt a bus stop or shelter, at a location near their home or business.The program alleviates the potential for graffiti and the accumulation of trash and debris by promoting a clean and safe shelter environment that's pleasant for our riders. To participate, please contact (360) 696-4494.
