💙Safer transit takes training, technology & strong partnerships.
Today, we highlighted our partnership with @SNHDinfo, which has helped save 19 lives since July through Narcan response. We also shared encouraging news: assaults on transit operators dropped nearly 29% last year.
Behind every successful mega-event is a winning team. During the @FIFAWorldCup, public transit agencies & their partners worked together to keep people moving & set new ridership records.
At APTA TRANSform & EXPO, leaders from host cities talked about their lessons learned. (1/2
As cities prepare for future events, one thing is clear – when public transportation is fully funded, communities can move people more safely and reliably.

When the Loma Prieta earthquake hit on Tuesday October 17, 1989, BART was put to the test like never before.
Not only did service resume just a few hours after the quake, BART ran 24-hours a day, seven days a week for about a month while the Bay Bridge was closed.
Federal funding cuts in the Continuing Resolution are putting public transportation projects, maintenance work, and reliable service at risk.
Congress must restore these investments and keep America on track. @TransportGOP @TransportDems
