Transport Issues / Risks
• Crowded Places – peak times
• Iconic Sites – Manchester Victoria, Old Trafford
• Open Networks – difficult to secure
• At times low staffing levels
• Remote locations – Metrolink 93km, some old railway infrastructure
• Multi-modal (interchanges) – multiple operators
• Attractive locations:
• Vulnerable persons (vagrancy, mental-health, dementia, isolation);
• Meeting places; and
• Proximity to town centres – migration of issues.

TravelSafe Strategic Aims
Partnership brought together to help support a safe and secure Transport Network:
1. Improve the perception of safety & security across public transport, offering reassurance to passengers;
2. Manage instances of Crime and Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) occurring on the transport network; and
3. Discourage fare evasion.

TravelSafe Approach
• Place-Based Policing Principles – adopting a ‘Partnership’ approach
• Work with neighbourhood police teams, local authorities etc.
• Problem-solve and tackle underlying causes
• Resources allocated based on ‘Risk, Harm, Threat’
• Intelligence-led
• Work to the National Joint Decision-Making
Model (JDM)

Challenges
• Total change in leadership = natural period of review
• Recent changes to our ‘ways of working’
• Move away from the traditional approach to ‘deployment’ of resource…not all about ‘boots on the ground’
• Move to problem-solve and tackle underlying causes vs. enforcement…in a joined-up, collective way
• Greater emphasis on prevention/deterrence

Work-streams
• Data Analytics – informing tactical decision-making around partnership priorities. Alignment of collective resources and determining interventions to hotspots and emerging areas of risk.
• Preventative Activities:
• Planned programme of school engagement; and
• Reactive school visits.
• Programme of Communications & Marketing.
• Target Hardening: Safety in-design / Safer Tram Stop / Park Mark Accreditation

The impact of events on incidents on the transport network is dependent on the nature of the event.
Right Wing Demos + counter protests on two Saturdays led to almost double the number of incidents than a typical Saturday.

Passenger Perception
• Harbour City - Passengers felt the most unsafe at this location, but one of the safest stops
• Etihad - location where most likely to be involved in an incident, but higher than av. % of passengers felt safe or vey safe
• Conclusion – something about the infrastructure/environment making people feel unsafe
