Assaults on bus and transit operators occur daily, threatening the safety of working members and the riding public. Every day there is more news of incidents where unruly passengers have spit on, threatened, beaten, stabbed or even shot some of our Brothers and Sisters while they are just doing their job. In response, SMART is leading the way in support of the bipartisan Bus Operator and Pedestrian Protection Act, introduced in the House by U.S. Rep. Grace F. Napolitano (D-CA-32), and U.S. Rep. John Katko (R-NY-24).
