The campaign - which is part of a broader effort by the City to create safer transit spaces - intends to empower and educate bystanders about various actions they can take to intervene in a manner that is safe for them and the individual being targeted.
Be Rail Safe
From September 23-29, 2025, Rail Safety Week reminds people of the importance of always being safe around trains, tracks and rail crossings.
Transit riders should always:
- Cross at a designated spot and pay attention while crossing LRT tracks. Trains can come from either direction at any time
- Avoid distractions - such as texting or listening to loud music - that could prevent you from seeing or hearing an oncoming train
- Look both ways and if the warning lights are flashing, do not cross. Not every LRT crossing has gates, bells or lights to warn you of an oncoming train
By crossing responsibly and being aware of LRT tracks, we can all do our part to avoid preventable injuries and incidents.
