A dedicated police presence at Bellingham Station

Bellingham Police Department provides a visible presence at WTA’s Bellingham Station.  Officers patrol the concourse and enforce WTA policies.  These officers interact with riders and others in the community, connecting people with services and assistance.  Our partnership with Bellingham Police Department increases your safety and the safety of our employees.

It’s OUR System

Be aware of your belongings, your surroundings and the people around you.  If you see someone or something suspicious, say something.  Alert the operator, another WTA employee, or the police on the concourse. Or call 911.

WTA has Standards of Conduct that includes paying your fare, offering designated seats to seniors and people with disabilities, keeping the noise down, making room for other riders, and being respectful of others.

Please respect the ride and the people that provide it.  Treat our buses, stops and terminals like you would your own property. This is our transit system and together we can keep it safe.

At Park and Rides, protect your property

When car break-ins increase in the community, they increase at our Park and Rides.  Do not leave belongings visible in your car.  Put them​ in the trunk, or use a cargo cover in the back of your vehicle.  And be sure to lock your car before you leave.

Cameras on buses

For your safety, and the safety of our drivers, we have cameras on all of our buses.​
