What is the TTC doing to keep me safe?
The TTC has already taken a number of significant steps to enhance safety, including:
- Increasing the presence of Special Constables, as well as hiring additional Special Constables;
- Adding more Station Supervisors, Chief and Mobile Supervisors, as well as Assistant Managers in subway stations to audit station security on a regular basis;
- Deploying more uniformed TTC employees throughout the system who can contact Transit Control directly to assist customers;

Also, more than 50 security guards that have daily experience dealing with under housed people in crisis will also temporarily work in TTC stations and vehicles. These guards have advanced training in areas including:
- Mental Health First Aid
- Overdose prevention, recognition, and response training

Customers are also encouraged to use the TTC Safe App if they require assistance, which creates a direct line of communication to the TTC Transit Control Centre. The TTC Safe App is free, and is available for download on most iPhone or Android devices.
