How to stay safe on trains and near the tracks
![]() |
The Hiawatha Line is a great addition to the community. Light rail is safe as long as everyone obeys warning signs and complies with barriers.
National studies show that light-rail trains are safer than cars, trucks – and even buses. Metro Transit is committed to promoting safety for those who live and work near the Hiawatha Line through education, physical safeguards (barriers and warning signs) and enforcement.
Make safety a priority. Remembering a few simple rules makes all the difference.
