About the Safer Travel Unit

The Safer Travel Unit has been set up to improve the confidence of passengers on buses and waiting at bus stops and stations. The Unit has played an important regional and national role in developing strategies for making public transport safe and enjoyable, including education programmes, reporting procedures, driver training and acceptable behaviour agreements.

It has introduced Gateway Checks to commercial bus services, CCTV to school buses and bus shelters and has established a protocol for preparing film from CCTV as evidence.
