Enhancing Operator Safety

Instances of violent assaults targeting bus drivers and transit operators are alarmingly on the rise throughout the United States. Custom Glass Solutions (CGS) is actively collaborating with major transit authorities and unions to safeguard drivers from physical assaults and gun violence. Recent tragedies in many major cities have driven demand for enhanced operator safety features for bus driver protection. With input from the bus manufacturers, CGS worked with transit authorities to understand the day-to-day realities for transit operators and developed a ballistic driver barrier that sets a new standard for transit driver protection. Our Optishield ballistic glass technology, which is also used for law enforcement, military vehicles and more, meets NIJ3A standards and can be designed to protect against higher threat levels. Compatible with all major bus manufacturers, CGS will design a system to fit your fleet and keep your operators safe.
