The ICPC was mandated by the Montreal Transit Corporation (Société de transport de Montréal, STM) for a pilot initiative of “exploratory walks” aimed at combating the sense of insecurity among users in the city’s metro network.
In 2023, the ICPC supported the STM project team in developing a structured methodology to guide these exploratory walks. Moreover, the ICPC played a role in guiding the participants during the walks, focusing on key observation aspects and documentation. This ensured systematic data collection and interpretation of results to understand security issues and propose concrete strategies and solutions for enhancing security in the Montreal Metro.
