Although data indicates that transit systems are safe - in fact, transit riders are less likely to be the victim of a crime as compared to car drivers - riders’ perception that systems are not safe has led to negative customer satisfaction surveys and in some cases, a reduction in, or an aversion to, transit - even more so in the post-COVID era.

Drawing on a series of in-depth interviews with executives, operations leaders, customer experience specialists, and public–private partners, this session presents a proven framework for planning, delivering, and sustaining transit excellence across the three critical phases of a mega-event: Pre-Event, During Event, and Post-Event.
