Über diesen Titel
Discussing the alarming increase in violence against public transit workers across the United States, a trend exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and persisting despite a general decline in other violent crimes. Several articles highlight that assaults have significantly risen over the past 15 years, leading to widespread fear, emotional distress, and staffing shortages within transit agencies. We explore various contributing factors, including income inequality, societal tensions, and a lack of adequate protections for frontline staff. Proposed solutions range from technological advancements like surveillance and driver barriers to de-escalation training and mental health support, such as relaxation classes, for workers. The sources emphasize the urgent need for federal action and improved safety standards to protect transit employees and maintain the functionality of public transportation systems.
