All HRT buses and transit facilities are designated as Safe Site for children and young adults. Safe Site is a nationwide program that sets up public locations as a network of places where youth in crisis can get immediate help. Children who are in a dangerous situation can find the help they need at HRT.

While riding HRT can be fun for young riders and to enhance that experience, children and young adults should abide by the following safety rules

Young riders: Use caution when riding alone

• Wait in a safe place.
• Don't talk to strangers.
• Be aware of what's going on around you.
• Hold on to handrails when boarding and exiting.
• Get to the transit station or stop early so you don't have to worry about missing your ride.
• Don't play around because you could injure yourself.
• Wait for the bus or trolley to come to a complete stop before getting out your seat.
• If you miss your ride or get lost, ask a HRT employee for help.
