Now Available: Mental Health Resources for Transit Workers

Published on: December 17, 2023

Research has shown that the holidays can be more difficult for those struggling with mental health. FTA has compiled online resources to support the transit industry during challenging times covering topics such as mental health, wellness and self-care, suicide prevention and active shooter preparedness.

Additionally, FTA issued Safety Advisory 22-4: Suicide Prevention Signage on Public Transit to recommend that transit agencies apply best practices to their suicide prevention signage and messaging campaigns. The advisory aims to reduce suicide attempts and for transit agencies to assess suicide event data to monitor the impact of signage.

Mental health is an important part of overall health and well-being and can be a difficult topic to discuss. FTA encourages transit workers to share these online resources widely with the transit agencies in their networks.
