121367 | Safe, Clean, and Secure Program (SEPTA)

Safety is a core value at SEPTA. All projects advanced in the Capital Program have a Safety-First focus. It is SEPTA's goal to promote safety and public health by making the overall system safer, cleaner, and more secure for riders. Maintaining the cleanliness of SEPTA facilities through the provision of various cleaning equipment is critical for good passenger health, their SEPTA experience, and supports overall system safety.
This program also includes life safety assessments and facility and vehicle safety and security measures. The Authority is part of the Philadelphia Area Regional Transit Security Working Group (PARTSWG), which works to advance safety and security improvements for all transit operations into and out of Philadelphia and the surrounding area. Additionally, SEPTA regularly applies to the competitive Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP) that is funded by the U. S. Department of Homeland Security.
