ASU Football fans, watch out for those Light Rail cars!

October 23, 2008 by Nick Bastian Leave a Comment

Hey ASU football fans, we just got word that Metro will be testing the cars during this Saturday's football game. For those of you that might not have seen a light rail car yet, it might be kind of fun to see them in action. This is a great opportunity for people to familiarize themselves with "game conditions." So, be smart, stay safe and don't stand on the tracks. Serious, these things are big, heavy and WILL leave a mark if you don't pay attention. Thanks to our friends at ASU for the info!

Light rail trains to test during Oct. 25 football game

METRO light rail vehicles will be running during Saturday’s Sun Devil football game against the University of Oregon; so please proceed with caution. Trains will run before, during and after the game in an effort to build familiarity among event goers.  
So while you’re enjoying the camaraderie and excitement of ASU football, please take note of these key light rail safety tips to keep you, your friends you’re your family safe throughout this year’s football season and beyond:

  • Light rail is quiet; look and listen for the train.

  • Obey the traffic signals; stop on red.

  • Use the crosswalks and obey all signals.

  • Stay off of the trackway; never drive, bike, walk or skateboard on the tracks.
Soon enough, METRO light rail will serve as your personal curbside valet to these games with their grand opening on Dec. 27!
METRO light rail is a 20-mile system that connects the cities of Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa. The in-road system will have 28 stations, eight park-and-ride facilities and 50 trains. Trains will operate 20 hours a day and stop at stations every 10 minutes during daytime hours. ASU students can travel on light rail and Valley Metro buses for free with the ASU U-Pass, which can be picked up by visiting any ASU campus Parking and Transit Services office and presenting a valid Sun Card. ASU employees also may obtain an ASU U-Pass for a deeply discounted rate compared to the price of a regular, annual Valley Metro transit pass. Please see the PTS Web site for more information.
