Transit Watch was developed by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and encourages transit employees, transit riders and community members to be aware of their surroundings and alert to activities, packages or situations that seem suspicious. If something out of the ordinary and potentially dangerous is observed, it is to be reported immediately to the proper transit supervisor who may investigate and/or notify law enforcement authorities. 3.4b. — SUSPICIOUS ITEMS, VEHICLES, PEOPLE AND ACTIVITIES Cabarrus County Transportation Service understands that it has a role to play in being a part of the eyes, ears and liability of the community and a part of the community's first line of defense.
