Rail Safety Presentations: Saving Lives One Encounter at a Time

“Our ongoing safety/new rider orientation tours are free but priceless for keeping riders safe.”

Site-Specific Presentations

In classrooms and auditoriums, the Transit Safety education team provides vivid, site-specific presentations, integrating photos and videos of nearby rail and Orange Line crossings. Referencing local stations and their geography, the education team introduces or reviews safety principles.Of course, school populations are constantly changing. New students arrive, students graduate, students move, so the Transit Safety education team frequently returns to the schools to reinforce or introduce the concepts of transit safety.

“Currently we have one trainer for the Gold Line, one for the Blue Line, and one for the Orange Line,” Barbara explains. “Prior to a new line opening, all trainers work on that line. That will happen when the Eastside Extension opens and later when the Exposition Light Rail line opens.”

Metro Transit Safety partners with the following school districts to bring safety training to 1.5 million students each year:

Compton
Long Beach
Los Angeles Unified
Norwalk
Pasadena
South Pasadena
Torrance
Whittier

Schedule a speaker to visit your school, business or organization.
The Transit Safety education team also reaches out to audiences at senior centers, Head Start groups, and schools teaching English as a Second Language. By attending community events with Metro Experience, the Transit Safety group attracts neighbors and riders who may not belong to traditional organizations.Metro Experience is the only mobile safety training theatre in the country.

The Transit Safety education team delivers a compelling safety message through state-of-the-art materials. Education team presentations strive to increase public awareness of the Metro Rail system and help residents of Los Angeles County how to live safely with this community asset.

Presentations include:

Color photographs
Videos of neighborhood streets and rail grade crossings, rail stations
Maps of the Metro Rail system or the Metro Orange Line.

A five-minute, award winning video dramatizes the consequences of unsafe or unlawful actions near Metro System stations. This live-action reenactment of real life accidents targets ages 10 and above. For students younger than 10, an animated video featuring the Metro Kids dramatizes the results of unsafe behavior.

A question and answer period at the end of each presentation offers an opportunity for dialogue between the education team member and the audience. Speakers also share valuable information about Metro’s destinations and fares.

Presentations range from 20 to 45 minutes, depending on your group’s needs and size. Presentations can be conducted in small or large venues, such as auditoriums or cafeterias. Presenters adapt the interactive presentations to accommodate the age of their audience. Presentations are available in Spanish.
