is looking to implement an enhanced safety plan to ensure the security of students who rely on the public transportation system.

“SEPTA Police are collaborating closely with the Philadelphia Police Department and other law enforcement agencies to increase the visibility of uniformed officers across our system,” SEPTA Transit Police Chief Charles Lawson said in a news release. “Our strategy also includes the use of over 30,000 surveillance cameras across the system. These cameras are monitored by our virtual patrol unit, allowing us to extend our reach and respond quickly to areas without a physical police presence.

Officials also note in a news release about the SEPTA Transit Watch App which provides a way for all riders to report safety and security concerns directly to SEPTA Transit Police in less than 20 seconds.
