App users can send photos, six second video, text descriptions, and locations of suspicious people or activities. From the home screen, users have two easy options for contacting Foothill Transit: * The “Report an Issue” button allows users to send text or photos directly to Foothill Transit. To ensure discretion, the camera flash is automatically disabled when photos are taken through the app. When reporting an issue, users can select locations and report categories to assist Foothill Transit.
