RTC Expands Deployment of ZeroEyes AI Gun Detection and Intelligent Situational Awareness Solution

Following Successful Pilot Year Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada 
Extends Implementation of Proactive Technology Across Facilities

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ZeroEyes, the creators of the first AI-based gun detection video analytics platform to earn the full US Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act Designation, today announced a more than 300% expansion of its deployment with the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC). Following a successful pilot, RTC has made the decision to deploy ZeroEyes in many additional strategic locations.

RTC became the first transit agency in the United States to fully deploy weapons detection analytics when it launched its ZeroEyes implementation in June 2024. As part of a multi-pronged strategy including armed security officers and GPS-enabled panic buttons for drivers, RTC saw a 40% reduction in passenger-on-passenger assaults and a 26% drop in operator assaults over the course of 2024.

The American Public Transportation Association recently recognized the RTC with two major honors: the 2024 Innovation Award for its ZeroEyes deployment and the 2025 Bus Security Award for the agency's comprehensive efforts to keep riders, drivers, and staff safe.

United Safety & Survivability Corporation (United Safety), a strategic partner of ZeroEyes in the transit industry, applauded RTC's continued innovation and leadership in transit safety.

"RTC's results clearly demonstrate how we can save lives when cutting-edge technology and a proactive safety mindset come together," said Joe Mirabile, President and CEO of United Safety. "We're proud to work alongside ZeroEyes to bring AI-driven threat detection to the forefront of public transportation and help agencies like RTC protect operators and passengers with unmatched speed and intelligence."

ZeroEyes' AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software layers onto existing digital security cameras. If a gun is identified, images are instantly shared with the ZeroEyes Operations Center (ZOC), the industry's only U.S.-based, fully in-house operation center, which is staffed 24/7/365 by specially trained U.S. military and law enforcement veterans. If these experts determine the threat is valid, they dispatch alerts and actionable intelligence — including visual description, gun type, and last known location — to law enforcement and local security teams as quickly as 3 to 5 seconds from detection.

"RTC's initial ZeroEyes implementation set a new benchmark for safety in public transportation systems nationwide," said Mike Lahiff, CEO and cofounder of ZeroEyes. "We are honored to expand the deployment and continue protecting passengers and staff against gun-related threats."
