Metro Transit reports 13% decrease in violent crime since last year Safety on trains and buses is a top concern, which is why Metro Transit has its own police department dedicated to the transit system.

Onboard transit police presence is up, serious crime is down. Interim Chief Dotseth and Lt. Mohamad spoke to the Sun Post about how expanded officer presence on the Metro Transit system is having a positive effect on safety and security.
