Safety and Security
Keeping everyone safe and secure is something we take very seriously. You can help by staying aware and by looking out for each other.
Stay Safe Around Tracks and Streetcars

- Look both ways – streetcars can come from either direction.
- Listen for streetcar bells.
- Don't use cell phones and remove ear buds.
- Don't walk, bike, skateboard, jog or play around tracks.
- Don't take shortcuts across the tracks.
- Don't walk near a parked streetcar. It may move without warning.
- Always stop at intersections and crossings.
- Wait for the streetcar to pass.
- Obey all signs and signals.
