ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN

It can be difficult to know what “something suspicious” looks like – but trust yourself when something doesn’t feel quite right.

IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING.™

Area transit agencies need your help—to be watchful and vigilant of suspicious activity in and around transit stations and vehicles and report anything suspicious.

The safety of passengers and the public is at the heart of this campaign.

See Something Strange?

Inventive advertising and educational materials have been placed throughout transit stations in the Metropolitan area. Here are a few samples you may have noticed around town.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS

Public service announcements will play on local radio stations during the course of the campaign—reaching hundreds of thousands of listeners with this important message.
