Respectful Response to People Experiencing Homelessness in Transit
Public transportation agencies across the country are exploring ways to respectfully support persons who are experiencing homelessness and minimize impacts to transit employees and the traveling public. Transit agencies have developed important partnerships with law enforcement, social service agencies, mental health experts, advocates for persons who are homeless, and others to approach this issue in a more positive way. TRB will host a webinar on Monday, March 25, 2024 from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM Eastern that will present transit agency experiences and lessons learned explored in the TCRP Research Report 242: Homelessness: A Guide for Public Transportation. Presenters will also share the activities of Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority’s (SEPTA) nationally recognized SCOPE program and the National Transit & Vulnerable Populations workgroup.
