One congresswoman wants to make transit safer, but not with police.
Transit Safety For the People, By the People
A U.S. congresswoman proposed replacing transit police with community-based safety measures, raising concerns about cybersecurity vulnerabilities in public transit systems, which could expose passenger data and operational networks to exploitation. This policy shift affects transit agencies reliant on traditional security infrastructure, potentially increasing risks of cyberattacks or physical breaches due to reduced oversight. The impact could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive systems or data leaks if alternative security measures are not properly implemented.
