Testing is now progressing to all areas of the ION route. Here's how to stay safe around ION:
Obey signage
Some intersections have been modified. Please follow any new restrictions and please obey all signage.
Stay off the tracks
Tracks are for trains. Never stop or park anywhere on the LRT tracks. Any vehicle stopped or parked on the LRT tracks will be ticketed or towed.
Stay alert
ION trains run on electricity and may not always be heard against typical street noise. Motorists, pedestrians and cyclists should treat ION trains with the same caution as any other vehicle. Always cross at designated crossings and stay alert by not being distracted by mobile devices or headphones.
