Look, listen and stay alive! September is Rail Safety Month in California.
Rail safety is a team effort and everyone needs to do their part in sharing knowledge and facts that will help deter unsafe behavior and reduce incidents along tracks and trains. To help educate the public about train safety, Metro will be hosting pop-up events at rail stations throughout the entire month of September. Swing by and receive information on how to be alert, look, listen and stay alive. We’ll also be giving away free limited edition Safetyville themed pins at each pop-up event (available while supplies last).
For those who can’t view the calendar above, here’s the schedule of pop-up events:
