Teach kids the rules of the rail.

METRO has developed and implemented an educational safety program to help increase safety awareness for you and your family throughout the light-rail construction process.

The highly successful Community School Safety Education Program takes place during a three-week period, and can be adapted for students in kindergarten through twelfth grade. Students visit the METRO Solutions School Safety classroom to participate in bilingual lessons on train awareness, construction and rail safety. The instructional strategies meet the needs of Houston’s diverse population, and the learning objectives are aligned to the state-mandated TEKS and TAKS. Age-appropriate and interactive lessons integrate academic subject areas such as science, math, language arts, social studies, health, music and movement. Once the course is complete, students, teachers, parents and local community members gather to celebrate each school’s conclusion of the program and award students who participated with a commemorative Certificate of Completion.
