Good app

Thank you for this app, it is a good start and seems stable. Please make it possible to mark all alerts as read.

So Easy to Use this app!!

Whenever I see a problem on the train or station I take a photo and report it to SacRT. Thank you very much

Light rail train sounds for the alerts RT appreciate

I would love to be able to change the sound of the alert to like the choo-choo sound in my iPhone or a train bell so I can change the sound of the alert. Like if a sound of a light rail train was recorded, I could use that for the sound of the alerts. And it makes more sense that way.

Elder

Regional Transit Police, need to use the Loud Public Speakers, and Customer Service can Answer questions distracting bus drivers and road rage (who ever heard a passenger bus without cruse control, gps?).

No help whatsoever

I had a situation where a young man verbally assaulted me and was threatening to cause physical harm. I sent in a report and a video and police was supposed to meet me at CRC light rail station and they did not. They called me but never address the situation and no police showed up. If you try to call to follow report, you are wasting your time. They will do absolutely nothing.

FAQ

What does the Alert SacRT app do?

The Alert SacRT app allows public transit riders to quickly and discreetly report safety and security concerns directly to transit police. It enables users to send text descriptions, photos, six-second videos, and their current location.

How can I report an issue using the app?

From the home screen, tap the 'Report an Issue' button. You can then send text or photos to RT Police. The app automatically disables the camera flash for discretion and allows you to select report categories and locations. You can also choose to report anonymously.

Is the Alert SacRT app free to use?

Yes, the Alert SacRT app is a free safety and security mobile app for riders. There are no costs associated with downloading or using its reporting features.

What happens if I have a poor signal?

The application is designed to operate robustly even with poor signal strength. If you send a report from an area without cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity, it will be stored and automatically sent once connectivity is restored. Text descriptions are sent before photos to ensure faster information delivery.

What are BOLO alerts?

BOLO (Be On the Look Out) Alerts are notifications from RT Police displayed within the app. These alerts might provide information about specific persons of interest, such as missing persons or children, including their last known location. If you see someone matching a BOLO alert, you should immediately call 9-1-1 and discreetly send an app report to RT.
