It's important to always be SAFE and SEEN, especially near transit centers!
BE SEEN!
Make yourself visible to drivers and bus operators.
Make eye contact with drivers before crossing in front of a vehicle.
Use sidewalks, crosswalks, and pedestrian signals wherever available.
No sidewalks? Walk on the shoulder facing oncoming traffic.
After exiting a bus, wait until it leaves and traffic clears before crossing the street.
Avoid crossing the street in front of a stopped bus.
Consider putting on light-colored or reflective materials in the early morning and at night.
Use a flashlight to walk safely in the dark and to signal bus operators.
