The webpage also identifies the ‘3Ds’ (distract, delegate and direct) strategies that bystanders witnessing harassment can use to help the victim.
In conjunction with the ad campaign, MDOT MTA is launching a safety and security webpage, which highlights resources and a reporting form for individuals experiencing harassment on an MDOT MTA transit vehicle or at an MDOT MTA stop or station. The campaign is focused on educating the public on what constitutes sexual harassment and how it can be stopped through ads on buses and rail vehicles, in addition to social media. “We want everyone to know we take incidents of harassment seriously and are launching this campaign so that we can improve the overall experience for all who take transit.” “There is no place for sexual harassment on transit or anywhere else,” said MDOT MTA Administrator Holly Arnold. The agency is addressing the issue as part of its efforts to follow through on safety and security commitments adopted in the MDOT MTA Rebuilding Better strategic plan, released in September 2021. The Maryland Department of Transportation Maryland Transit Administration (MDOT MTA) has announced that it has launched a new public service campaign to reduce the incidence of sexual harassment on transit.
