Photography and Videography Policy

Non-Commercial/Personal Photography and Videography

The general public is allowed to use personal, hand-held cameras to take photographs, capture digital images, and videotape within publicly accessible areas of WestCAT property, including bus stops and in-service transit vehicles for personal, non-commercial use as long as such activities do not interfere with transit operations.

Large cameras, photo or video equipment, or ancillary equipment such as lighting, tripods, cables, etc. are prohibited (except in instances where commercial and professional photographers receive permission from WestCAT).

All photographers and videographers are prohibited from entering, photographing, or videotaping non-public areas of WestCAT’s transit system.

All photographers and videographers are prohibited from impeding customer traffic flow, obstructing transit operations, interfering with operators or customers, blocking doors or stairs, and affecting the safety of WestCAT, its employees, or customers. All photographers and videographers must fully and immediately comply with any requests, directions, or instructions from WestCAT personnel related to safety or security concerns.

Law enforcement or WestCAT personnel may approach photographers and videographers if the activity is suspicious in nature or inconsistent with this policy.

WestCAT personnel may evaluate the actions of a photographer or a videographer, and if a determination is made that the actions of a photographer or videographer are not in compliance with this policy, WestCAT personnel may terminate the permission granted by this policy.

Commercial/Professional Photography and Videography

Any person wishing to take photographs or video for any type of commercial/professional use, or anyone who needs to set up tripods, lights, or other equipment on publicly accessible areas of WestCAT property must first contact WestCAT for approval by emailing info@westcat.org or calling 510-724-3331.
