Metro rolled out the Safety Hub on March 16, 2026, with initial coverage focused on A Line stations in Pasadena and bus routes serving Altadena. (beverlypress.com) Metro says the site was developed with input from riders and the agency’s Public Safety Advisory Council, which has been steering Metro’s re‑imagining-of-public‑safety efforts since 2022. (progressiverailroading.com) Agency materials cited systemwide ridership of roughly 305 million boardings in 2025 when announcing the hub, using that volume as a baseline for scaled safety reporting. (beverlypress.com) Metro’s public‑safety statement for 2025 reported a 6.7% decline in violent crime and a 33% decline in societal crime compared with 2024 — headline metrics Metro has been publishing alongside the new online tools. (metro.net) Metro Board Chair Fernando Dutra and CEO Stephanie Wiggins framed the launch as a transparency measure, and Los Angeles County Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell is credited with authoring the board motion that produced the underlying data dashboard. (beverlypress.com) The Safety Hub explicitly links to Metro’s Public Safety Dashboard, which Metro says was developed under its Public Safety Analytics and Bias‑Free Policing policies to provide contextualized, policy‑aligned data for stakeholders.
