## Resource

A new survey reveals most Lawrence Transit riders feel safe, but one spot—Vermont Street’s library-side bus stop—has 55% of respondents feeling unsafe, echoing a 2024 fatal shooting and police concerns. Issues include public intoxication, drug use, harassment, and needles, with some blaming fare-free transit and lax enforcement. The city’s planned downtown station, meant to relocate operations indoors and add staff oversight, is delayed by the World Cup and a pending sales tax vote—but riders are holding their breath for change.
