The Dayton RTA was recognized for its “See Something, Say Something, Do Something” campaign to reduce vandalism and create awareness messaging across the agency. The program resulted in an improvement across the system and a 35 percent decrease in vandalism and incidents across the board. In addition, the campaign resulted in 21 fewer incidents of broken windows and a net savings of $16,800, according to the RTA.
“Congratulations to these public transportation systems for implementing successful, innovative safety and security programs that serve as a model to the rest of the industry,” said Doran J. Barnes, APTA Chair and Executive Director of Foothill Transit, who presented the awards. “Safety and security are the top priority in the public transportation industry.”
