Safety First Obey traffic signals at train crossings As more people choose DART Rail and the Trinity Railway Express to travel to work and play, it's important to remember the importance of obeying traffic signals at all train crossings. In some locations, the trains travel up to 65 miles per hour.
DART and the Trinity Railway Express, along with area freight railroads, offer a rail safety program called Operation Lifesaver. To schedule a presentation, call Texas Operation Lifesaver at 1-800-362-2210. Also, DART conducts safety education programs in schools, and in senior and adult groups along DART rail corridors. Safety presenters provide classroom instruction and hands-on transit tours. Safety outreach is an ongoing process that begins before rail construction starts and continues after rail openings. For more information on DART's Transit Education Outreach Program, visit DART.org, click on "About DART," and go to "DART Safety Tips." Call 214-749-2582 to schedule a "DART Safely" program. -- 30 -- |
