JUST ONE MORE WEEK UNTIL OUR NEXT...
A FREE event for the entire family!
 There's only one more week to go before our next Train Community Day! The Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation and Move Oahu Forward periodically host an open house at HART's Rail Operations Center, allowing the public a chance to visit the Honolulu Rail Transit Project's operational hub.
Jump aboard our
state-of-the-art trains!
Undoubtedly, the stars of the show will be our high-tech, fully-automated, driverless trains. One of them will be on display and open for walkthroughs! The event is always a fun-filled day for the entire family and, in addition to train tours, visitors can learn the very latest rail project information, find out more about the HOLO Card (Honolulu's soon-to-be-released universal payment system), and learn about upcoming career & employment opportunities with representatives of HART contractor Hitachi Rail Honolulu Joint Venture!

TIPS TO STAY SAFE WHILE...WALKING?
|

|
"Distracted Walking" - National Safety Council
|
Most people rarely think of walking as a dangerous activity, but as a pedestrian walking in urban areas, crossing busy streets and negotiating traffic can be hazardous.
According to the National Safety Council, in 2017, 16% of all traffic deaths were pedestrians. The NSC provides the following tips to increase your safety as a pedestrian:
- Whenever possible, walk on the sidewalk; if no sidewalk is available, walk facing traffic
- Follow the rules of the road, obeying all traffic signs and signals
- Cross streets at crosswalks
- If no crosswalk is available and your view is blocked, move to a place where you can see oncoming traffic
- Look left, right and left again before crossing the street, making eye contact with drivers of oncoming vehicles to make sure they see you
- Stay alert - avoid cell phone use and wearing earbuds
- Avoid alcohol and drug impairment when walking
- Wear bright and/or reflective clothing, and use a flashlight at night
- Watch for cars entering or exiting driveways or backing up in parking lots
- Children younger than 10 should cross the street with an adult
