Metro Deploys ‘Safety Ambassadors’ to Eastside

By EGP News Service

Metro deployed 12 rail safety ambassadors on Monday to help motorists become familiar with the new light rail train traffic and to educate pedestrians on how to be safe around trains during this early testing period.

The ambassadors will be located at seven Eastside intersections along the new six-mile Metro Gold Line to East Los Angeles alignment until the grand opening this summer and for three months thereafter.

The ambassadors will be at Alameda/Temple, First/Alameda, First/Mission, First/Lorena, First/Indiana, Indiana/Third and Third/Mednik. For more information, visit www.metro.com
