SEPTA - See Something Say Something

Features & Capabilities

The SEPTA Transit Watch app empowers SEPTA riders to quickly and discreetly report suspicious activity directly to SEPTA Transit Police using their smartphones. Users can send photos, text messages, and location details safely with a disabled camera flash for discretion. The app provides two main options: "Report a Problem" for sending detailed alerts, including category and location, and "Call SEPTA Police" to connect directly by phone.

Designed to work even with intermittent connectivity, reports are stored offline and forwarded once a connection is re-established. Additionally, the app features BOLO (Be On the Look Out) alerts, offering timely notifications about persons of interest such as missing individuals. This helps riders stay informed and contributes to a safer transit environment. SEPTA Transit Watch fosters community participation in public safety with privacy and ease-of-use at its core.
