Sound Transit is partnering with Move Redmond to host a safety video competition for K-12 students.
The 2 Line is planned to open in Spring 2024, and we are so excited to expand service in Bellevue and Redmond!
Light rail will make it easier to get where you want to go on the Eastside. We want everyone to be aware of the change in their environment—especially in the BelRed neighborhood where the 2 Line will operate at street level.
Submit a vertical format video on the theme of the contest: Practicing Safe Habits around Light Rail! 2 Line Safety Video Contest submissions accepted at www.moveredmond.org.
For more inspiration, Sound Transit’s core safety messages are:
-
Look both ways. Trains come from both directions, so always expect a second train!
-
Headphones off, screens down. It’s important to stay alert to be safe.
-
Take crosswalks, not shortcuts. Trains always have the right of way, so pay attention to crossing signals.
-
Stay behind the yellow line. The yellow strip creates a barrier between the train and the platform.
-
Bike smart, ride safe. When you’re riding a bike, always cross tracks at a 90-degree angle to prevent getting stuck.
