This week, our partners at the San Francisco Police Department announced their Safe Shopper campaign. We were proud to join them in sharing these important safety messages for the holiday season.
“All of us at the SFMTA want your trips about town to be easy and safe this holiday season,” said SFMTA Director of Transportation Ed Reiskin. “No matter how you get around, please remember to take your time and be aware of your surroundings.”
Here are some key safety tips to remember:
- Stay alert when using electronic devices. Limit your distractions.
- Always be alert to your surroundings and have your keys in your hand as you approach your vehicle.
- Park smart: Help avoid vehicle break-ins, leave nothing visible in your car. Consider moving your vehicle to a different location each time you load packages in the trunk. Try to use parking lots where there are parking attendants.
- “If you see something, say something.” If you witness criminal activity or see something or someone suspicious, flag down a police officer, call 911 or contact security.
