“Our levels of dedication to winning this prominent bid were more prolific than ever, and it paid off,” said Archie Doyle, Safety Vision’s lead account executive for the proposal.
The RTC will be using an advanced network video recording system (NVR) to provide video and audio surveillance over public transportation options. NVRs transmit video over an on-bus network infrastructure, allowing for high resolution footage and remote viewing. The RTC purchased Safety Vision’s flagship NVR, the RoadRecorder® 7000S.
As well, over 2,500 high definition cameras will be deployed to help eliminate driver blind spots and monitor all passenger activities. Safety Vision will also provide RTC with wireless downloading equipment.

The region’s fixed-route system finished out the year with a total of 373.5 million rides. Adding 12.3 million rides over 2024 represents an increase that is equal to the annual transit ridership of Kansas City.
The service is a flexible, reservation-based transit service designed to close the first- and last-mile gaps and connect riders to employment for just $5 per day.
The upgraded system, which went live earlier this month, supports METRO’s METRONow vision to enhance the customer experience, improve service reliability, and strengthen long-term regional mobility.
The agreement provides competitive wages and reflects strong labor-management collaboration, positive working relationships, and a shared commitment to building a world-class transit system for the community, said RTA CEO Lona Edwards Hankins.
The priorities are outlined in the 2026 Board and CEO Initiatives and Action Plan, which serves as a roadmap to guide the agency’s work throughout the year and ensure continued progress and accountability on voter-approved transportation investments and essential mobility services.
