VTAlerts: A Safety App for VTA Riders

VTAlerts is a safety application specifically designed for the VTA bus and light rail system in Santa Clara County, California. Developed by Elerts Corporation, this free app provides riders with a quick and discreet method to report safety concerns and suspicious activities directly to VTA Security or the police in case of an emergency.

With VTAlerts, riders can easily send pictures, text messages, and locations of suspicious persons or activities to VTA Security, making commuting safer and more comfortable for everyone. The app's home screen offers two convenient options for contacting security. The "Report a Problem" button allows riders to send text or photos directly to VTA Security, with the camera flash automatically disabled to ensure discretion. Riders can select station locations and report categories to assist VTA Security, and they can also choose to send reports anonymously. Even in areas with no cellular connectivity, reports are stored and sent once connectivity is restored. The app is designed to prioritize sending messages before pictures to ensure that VTA Security receives them as quickly as possible.

In addition, VTAlerts features a "Call 911" button that connects customers directly to the police in case of emergencies. The app also includes BOLO (Be On the Look Out) Alerts, which display information from VTA Security about specific persons of interest. For example, if there is a missing person or child, VTAlerts may provide details about their last known location. If riders spot someone matching the description in a BOLO Alert, they are encouraged to immediately call 911 and discreetly send an app report to VTA Security.

Overall, VTAlerts is an essential safety tool for VTA riders, offering a seamless and efficient way to report concerns and ensure a secure commuting experience.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
