METRO's Safety Education Campaign
METRO’s safety education campaign never ends—and you are an important part of it. We invite your organization or business to join with us in helping Valley residents learn and follow the rules of light rail safety.
You can help by:
- Including light rail safety information in the text of your group’s newsletter
- Placing light rail safety information in employee paycheck envelopes and employee break rooms, in brochure holders in your business
- Hanging a safety poster where your customers and employeees can see it
- Distributing METRO’s kids safety kits in your school, daycare center, church group, activity group or recreation center
- Showing METRO’s three-minute driver safety video to your driver education class or as part of your waiting-room TV programming.
Did you know? The most common light rail vehicle accident types for on-street systems are:
- Illegal turns made in front of a light rail vehicle
- Running a red light
- Pedestrians walking in front of a moving light rail vehicle
