Edmonton, AB addresses public transit safety issues with Community Outreach Transit Teams
Edmonton, AB Community Outreach Transit Teams Safety Issues
Pågår
Edmonton Transit Service faces declining ridership and rising crime rates at bus and train stations. City officials approved the COTT pilot as a compassionate approach to drug use, homelessness, and violence. Two initial COTT patrols were staffed by transit officers and outreach workers from the Bent Arrow Traditional Healing Society. Each patrol speaks with struggling residents, identifies their needs, and refers to local health and social services.
Projekt lyckat
The COTT pilot assisted 800 people during its first six months. City officials approved three additional teams for a three-year pilot extension.
