Metro Rail Safety Ambassador Program

Metro Rail Safety Ambassador Program: As part of Metro Community Education’s ongoing safety efforts, retired bus and rail operators from Metro are temporarily employed as Rail Safety Ambassadors (RSAs).  RSAs observe and record behaviors of pedestrians and motorists around grade crossings along Metro’s street-running light rail alignments, distribute safety materials, and explain safe practices to the public when unsafe acts are observed. In June 2013, Metro’s Rail Safety Ambassador Program was honored with the first ever “Gold Award for Program Innovation” at the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) Conference.
