Helping Keep our Community Safe

MHT Operators keep a watchful eye on our community. Working in conjunction with other community agencies, Operators report suspicious activities to police and fire, and help lost individuals get to where they are safe. They are in continuous contact with MHT Dispatch and can radio for emergency help whenever fire, police or emergency medical services are required. They also report road problems, out-of-order traffic lights and missing signs. All MHT buses are considered a safe haven for children, adults, seniors and persons with disabilities.
