Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) for Public Transit Stations: Year 2

This project continues exploring Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles in public transit stations to enhance community safety. Through site assessments in Wilmington, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, the study identifies and addresses gaps in CPTED implementation at vulnerable transit locations. The project aims to catalog existing CPTED practices, evaluate additional transit stations, and develop actionable recommendations to reduce crime risk and improve station accessibility, fostering safer, community-centered transit environments that encourage transit use and accessibility.
