Hello Austin! This week we’re focusing on avoiding railway tragedy by bringing attention to National Railway Safety Week. Capital Metro wants you and your family to stay safe so you can enjoy the city in a secure way.

For most kids, trains are fun and exciting. They love the speed, the size and the sounds. But the trains and tracks are not safe spaces to play in. It’s important to show your kids the right way to cross the train tracks so they can always get safely to their destination.

Remember, CapMetro trains are faster and quieter than traditional freight trains, and they are not obligated to honk their horns in silent zones. If you’re stopped on or near the tracks, it’s possible you won’t see, hear or feel a train coming.

Share this info with kids and loved ones — it’s essential to staying safe. At Capital Metro you can always trust us to get you to your final destination safely.
