Report Transit Assaults to Help SMART-TD Fight Back

If you’ve been threatened, harassed, or assaulted on the job, it is crucial to report the incident to SMART-TD.  
 
Our confidential Workplace Assault Reporting Form guarantees that every assault or attack is documented and treated with the seriousness and urgency it deserves.   

These reports help BTAPS and SMART-TD lobby for stronger protections to prevent assaults, tougher penalties for attacker, and greater support for victims.  
 
The form is on the SMART-TD website. To find it, navigate to Get Involved>Report a Worksite Issue, then look for the red “Workplace Assault Report” button ► 

Remember, you are NOT alone. Your voice matters and most importantly, your safety matters. 

Safety Isn’t Negotiable 

SMART-TD’s Bus and Transit Assault Prevention and Safety (BTAPS) Committee was formed to address the growing epidemic of transit assault, and to ensure that our brothers and sisters can perform their jobs in the safest environment possible.  
While we have achieved some improvements in policies, law, and physical barricades for operators, the problem is getting worse.  
 
In the words of the committee, “No one should have to start a shift wondering if they’ll make it home safe. Incidents like [these] aren’t ‘part of the job.’ They’re part of a systemic failure to protect the men and women who keep our communities moving every single day.” 

Both SMART-TD and our BTAPS Committee are committed to correcting this, but we need your help.

Don’t Stay Silent: Report It 

Bookmark the report form, and if you are ever the victim of a workplace assault, to make the report! Together, we’ll keep fighting until every bus and transit operator has a safe place to work.
