Safe Zone: Using Digital Signage for Public Safety

Digital displays can broadcast real-time information during emergencies and draw passengers’ eyes to announcements, enhancing transit safety and security.

Maintaining safety and security are important in any environment, but transportation professionals have particular challenges associated with ensuring travelers stay safe. Transit hubs, bus and train stations often are crowded, and there are no all-encompassing passenger screening processes for public transit like there are at airports.

Public transit remains a very safe form of travel, yet transit agencies must stay alert to the potential hazards and investigate new ways to prevent or detect them. Digital signage can help enhance transportation security and alert passengers to safety information in a faster, more streamlined way than static signage can.
