What type of signage is important for rider safety according to the CTA?

Clear emergency procedure signage is critical for rider safety because it provides essential information that can help individuals respond effectively during an emergency situation. This type of signage needs to be easily visible, straightforward, and strategically placed to ensure that passengers can quickly understand the procedures they must follow, such as evacuation routes or emergency contacts.

Unlike promotional advertisements, which are primarily intended for marketing purposes, emergency procedure signage serves a vital role in prioritizing the wellbeing of passengers. Route schedule signs and wayfinding directions, while important for navigation and planning trips, do not directly address safety in emergencies. Therefore, having clear emergency procedures displayed prominently helps ensure that all riders are informed, prepared, and can act quickly to protect themselves in the event of an incident.
