VTAlerts “See something Say something”

Features & Capabilities

VTAlerts is a dedicated safety application for the VTA bus and light rail system in Santa Clara County, California. It provides riders with discreet, easy-to-use options to report safety concerns or suspicious activities directly to VTA Security or to contact police in emergencies. Users can send text messages, photos without flash, and precise location details to enhance security and comfort while commuting.

The app features a simple interface offering two main actions: "Report a Problem" sends text or photo reports directly to security with optional anonymity and automated message prioritization even in low connectivity areas. The "Call 911" button connects riders immediately to emergency services. Additionally, VTAlerts includes BOLO (Be On the Look Out) alerts that notify users about persons of interest or missing individuals to assist in public safety efforts.
