As the Summer of Soccer kicks off, WTA is focused on keeping our community safe. Unfortunately, major events bring an increased risk of human trafficking. That’s why our Operations Supervisors are training transit operators to spot the signs and report suspected trafficking immediately.

Ride with confidence knowing we’re looking out for you every step of the way!
