Meanwhile, the safety hub also links users to L.A. Metro’s public safety dashboard. It provides riders with timely data on security, crime and response times. Separately, agency officials said the dashboard was developed under Metro’s public safety analytics policies. Still, officials said it was developed under bias-free policing policies as well.

“By making this information readily accessible, we are empowering our riders and the public with a transparent look at our progress and the actions we’re taking to build a safer transit system for everyone,” said L.A. Metro Chair Fernando Dutra.
