Putting the Brakes on Rider Harassment: Research Tools, Community Partnerships, and Data-Driven Solutions

10:00-11:00a.m. (PT) | Link to register. 

*This event is co-sponsored by Stop AAPI Hate.

Harassment is keeping riders from using transit and feeling safe. Join a discussion with two transit operators and their community partners to discuss strategies for learning about what riders are facing and how to put an end to it. Taking on harassment on transit doesn't need to be a daunting task—it starts with data collection and setting up community partnerships to guide the process. Speakers will discuss both qualitative data gathering approaches and a new passenger survey tool. How can these be used to make a difference in making public transit safer for everyone? Be a part of the conversation about putting the brakes on rider harassment. 

WHO IS IT FOR:

This webinar is for transit riders, operators, community-based organizations, advocacy groups, government workers, researchers, and anyone who wants to be a part of sharing insights and strategies to address rider harassment and fostering a safer and more inclusive public transit experience for everyone.
