Be Rail Safe Team & Swallows Swoop into San Juan Capistrano



More than 5,000 people participated in the 52nd annual Swallows Day Festival in San Juan Capsitrano this past weekend. OCTA’s Be Rail Safe team also was there sharing tips with children and adults on how to be safe around train tracks.

Getting out into the community and meeting people face to face is definitely one of the best parts of my job! I feel like I’m making a difference when I surprise someone by informing them that train tracks are private property and pedestrian do not have the right of way.

It was a super hot weekend down in San Juan Capistrano but our participation at the festival was a huge success. We definitely don't have a boring information booth..like some out there...it's actually really exciting to see the kids play with the prize wheel while adults and parents take our rail safety survey!

Don’t be sad if you missed us in SJC, there’s still another chance to check us out. We’ll be hosting a booth at Railroad Days in Brea on Saturday, May 1, 2010. Hope to see you there!
