Transit Watch

In response to the need for increased attention to safety and security in today’s post-9/11 environment, Pace participates in the nationwide Transit Watch effort to ensure the safety and security of our public transportation network.

Report suspicious activities: Pace's Transit Watch Emergency Hotline (847) 228-4200 or call 911 in an immediate emergency.

What can you do to help?

• Be observant, alert, watchful and aware.
• If something doesn’t look quite right, report it to the authorities.
• Take the initiative and become the community’s transit eyes and ears.
• We can all count on a safe ride if we look out for each other.

If passengers observe something suspicious, they should immediately notify their bus driver  or other transit employee.

To report suspicious activity in an immediate emergency, call 911.

What is Transit Watch?

The campaign is a nationwide safety and security awareness program designed to encourage the active participation of transit passengers and employees in working together to maintain a safe transit environment.

Transit Watch asks you to be the “eyes and ears” of the local transit system

Transit Watch was developed by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Transit Administration (FTA) in partnership with the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), the Community Transportation Association of America (CTAA), the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU), and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
