| Reason | As part of its coverage of safety issues on transit, The Citizen acquired information about the number of safety audits that occur on transit facilities. |

| Outcome | When we met with OC Transpo on September 9, 2013 they stated that they would be open to any safety audits proposed by the community. It's a start! |
