Metro Safety Tracker: Transparency in Action
We pay close attention to safety and crime on our system, monitoring data from Metro as well as our partners.
This platform reflects our commitment to transparency, accountability, and creating a secure transit experience for everyone.
Metro is one of the largest public transit systems in the United States, serving Los Angeles County, the most populous county in the nation.
Fare Enforcement
Fare enforcement is essential for public transit systems to ensure financial sustainability, promote fairness among riders, and maintain the quality and reliability of services.
Protecting Riders
Our law enforcement partners work to enforce the laws that help create a secure and welcoming transit environment for everyone. Metro’s care-based approach requires our partners engage with passengers, offer assistance, de-escalate situations whenever possible, and when necessary, make arrests.
Crimes Against Persons, Property and Society
We categorize crimes by those that harm individual people (like assault), those that damage or steal property (like theft), and those that disrupt the well-being of society as a whole (like fare evasion or vandalism).
Metro Ridership
Overall, we succeed when more people ride Metro, and when people ride Metro, the system is safer for all of us.
