What does the "Safety First" initiative aim to accomplish?

The "Safety First" initiative is focused on prioritizing passenger and employee safety across all SEPTA services. This initiative underscores the importance of creating a safe travel environment for everyone involved in the transit system. By placing safety at the forefront of its operations, SEPTA aims to foster a culture where safety protocols are consistently followed and where both passengers and employees can feel secure while using or working in the system.

The emphasis on safety also entails implementing training programs, regular safety audits, and continuous improvement of safety measures within the organization. Prioritizing safety helps in building public trust and encourages higher ridership, directly contributing to the overall well-being of the transit community.
