Late-night commutes can be stressful—especially when you’re walking through poorly lit areas, traveling alone, or using public transportation after dark. TRUalert is designed to provide peace of mind and real-time support whenever you need it most. With SMS-based emergency response, Safety Pulse alerts, and access to trained dispatchers, this app serves as your digital safety escort 24/7.
Crimes at Night When Commuting
Nighttime commuting poses unique safety risks across the U.S., with increased incidents of crime and harassment, especially for those traveling alone or using public transportation. Data consistently shows that many violent crimes and robberies occur in public spaces during late hours, underscoring the importance of proactive safety measures for commuters. Awareness of these statistics can empower individuals to make informed decisions about personal safety and consider tools like TRUalert for added security on their nightly commutes.
Here are key statistics on the prevalence of night-time commuting crimes in the U.S., illustrating why personal safety tools like TRUalert are essential:
- 28% of violent crimes in the U.S. in 2020 occurred on streets, sidewalks, or in parking areas, with night-time hours showing higher crime rates compared to the daytime. [Source: USAFacts ]
- More than 50% of robberies happen in public places or on public transportation, with significant occurrences during late hours when individuals commute alone. [Source: USAFacts ]
- Only 47% of nighttime violent crime victims report incidents to police, meaning many crimes go unaddressed or untracked, increasing the risk for solo commuters without safety awareness tools. [Source: USAFacts ]
- Women aged 18-24 are twice as likely to face harassment or assault on public transport, especially during off-peak hours. [Source: Digg ]
In major urban areas, reports of assault on public transit increased by over 30% in 2022, with late-night commutes posing particular risks for commuters in metropolitan regions. [Source: USAFacts ]

Why Safety Matters for Late-Night Commuters
