“…Additionally, a onboard passenger survey conducted by Los Angeles Metro found that 40 percent of riders who had identified their gender as “nonbinary” had experienced sexual harassment on transit over the last six months, while only 26 percent of riders identifying as female and 21 percent of riders identifying as male reported experiencing sexual harassment (Los Angeles Metro 2018). Lastly, in regard to disability , Ludici, Bertoli, and Faccio (2017) reviewing a limited literature, concluded that the rate of physical and sexual aggression experienced by women with disabilities is double that of women without disabilities.…”

The #MeToo movement has brought much attention to crimes of sexual harassment in the workplace, but less attention has been given to such crimes taking place in transit environments. Reviewing international literature on sexual harassment, assault, and rape in transit environments, this article explores questions that relate to the nature, frequency, and impact of these crimes, and the strategies and interventions adopted by and recommended to public agencies to improve actual and perceived safety for riders. Highlighting an issue that primarily affects women, the article helps advocate for a better inclusion of women’s needs in planning for safety and mobility.

(Caltrans), and by private grants and donations. MTI's transportation policy work is centered on three primary responsibilities: MINETA TRANSPORTATION INSTITUTE LEAD UNIVERSITY OF Mineta Consortium for Transportation Mobility Research MTI works to provide policy-oriented research for all levels of government and the p rivate sector to foster the development of optimum surface transportation systems. Research areas include: bicycle and pedestrian issues; financing public and private sector transportation improvements; intermodal connectivity and integration; safety and security of transportation systems; sustainability of transportation systems; transportation / land use / environment; and transportation planning and policy development. Certified Research Associates conduct the research. Certification requires an advanced degree, generally a Ph.D., a record of academic publications, and professional references. Research projects culminate in a peer-reviewed publication, available on TransWeb, the MTI website (http://transweb.sjsu.edu). Education The Institute supports education programs for students seeking a career in the development and operation of surface transportation systems. MTI, through San José State University, offers an AACSBaccredited Master of Science in Transportation Management and graduate certificates in Transportation Management, Transportation Security, and High-Speed Rail Management that serve to prepare the nation's transportation managers for the 21st century. With the active assistance of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), MTI delivers its classes over a state-of-the-art videoconference network throughout the state of California and via webcasting beyond, allowing working transportation professionals to pursue an advanced degree regardless of their location. To meet the needs of employers seeking a diverse workforce, MTI's education program promotes enrollment to under-represented groups. Information and Technology Transfer MTI utilizes a diverse array of dissemination methods and media to ensure research results reach those responsible for managing change. These methods include publication, seminars, workshops, websites, social media, webinars, and other technology transfer mechanisms. Additionally, MTI promotes the availability of completed research to professional organizations and journals and works to integrate the research findings into the graduate education program. MTI's extensive collection of transportation-related publications is integrated into San José State University's world-class Martin Luther King, Jr. Library. The contents of this report reflect the views of the authors, who are responsible for the facts and accuracy of the information presented herein.

“…Disability affects vulnerability to crime (Iudici, 2015;Iudici, Bertoli, & Faccio, 2017). In Stockholm city, for example, those who feel that they have one or more disabilities state twice as much fear of being victims of assault and robbery than the general population.…”

“…Even while acknowledging the relevance of studies that focus on disabled people by presuming them as vulnerable persons (Iudici, Bertoli, & Faccio, 2017;Roulstone et al, 2011), this review chose to focus on the "dark side" or the "overshadowed background" of the literature on disability and crime. In fact, despite the fear, harassment, and violence permeating the everyday lives of many disabled people in private as well as public places (EHRC, 2016), most studies often neglect the role of environments in facilitating or hindering DHCs, situating these violent acts against disabled individuals in anonymous physical settings (Hall, 2018;Sin et al, 2010).…”
