Media Relations Contact: April 15, 2020 North Texas transit agencies to Sound The Horn on April 16 North Texas public transportation agencies are joining their colleagues across the country in a coordinated day of action to salute frontline transit heroes. View a larger image (opens in a new window) The act of solidarity is a symbolic way to pay tribute to those who continue providing service so that first responders and other essential workers can get to work during the COVID-19 pandemic. Every day, frontline transportation workers provide essential services, making it possible for people to access health care, pharmacies, grocery stores and other critical needs. DART and TRE operators, conductors, dispatchers, mechanics, servicers, DART Police and Fare Enforcement Officers, and staff work 24/7 to make sure North Texas's essential workers can get to their jobs. Trinity Metro plans to participate with buses, ACCESS paratransit, and Trinity Metro TEXRail. TRE, which is jointly owned and operated by Trinity Metro and DART, will also participate. DART will sound horns across all of their light rail, bus, Dallas streetcar and paratransit services. DCTA will be joining in the salute by sounding horns on its A-train commuter rail and on all buses in operation. To help support the effort, all three agencies are encouraging the use of #SoundTheHorn social media to honor those who serve others. -- 30 -- |
