Safety First | Customer Focused

Our goal is to help provide customers with a safe and comfortable ride on Metro Transit.

Working with our regional partners, we developed a comprehensive security program comprised of multiple elements and resources that provide a secure transit environment. This strategy is a standard for many transit and rail systems. To deliver this experience, our team and law enforcement partners are focused on three key areas:

• Visibility: Our team is everywhere our customers are — on the light rail platforms, at transit centers, on board MetroBus vehicles and MetroLink trains. With new, high-visibility uniforms, they are easy to spot and are always ready to assist you.
  • Security Guards and Fare Inspectors assist passengers; patrol trains, MetroLink stations and transit centers; and enforce the rules of the Metro Transit system
  • Transit Security Specialists support security guards and Metro team members while patrolling the system, and they respond to requests for assistance and coordinate with law enforcement when needed
  • Law enforcement partners at St. Louis County Police Department, St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, St. Clair County Sheriff’s Department and St. Louis City Sheriff’s Department provide a uniformed police presence on the transit system with both full-time and part-time officers and deputy sheriffs
• Rule Enforcement: Whether it is loud music or an inappropriate smoker, nuisance behavior can create a negative experience for all riders. The team is strengthening enforcement of these rules of the system to ensure everyone is using Metro the right way and can enjoy a safe, comfortable commute.
• Innovation and Infrastructure: Data analysis and technology that improves communication, surveillance and accountability are all important tools for our Public Safety team. All MetroLink platforms are monitored on closed circuit cameras – 24/7 – by dispatchers who can immediately call for security or law enforcement assistance when needed. Cameras also monitor Park-Ride lots, stairwells, parking facilities and trains, buses and vans. Metro is also using new infrastructure to create better monitored and secure access points to the transit system.
