Transdev Sydney, operator of Sydney’s light rail network, is launching a public safety campaign to help keep people safe around light rail vehicles and tram tracks after a spate of near misses and collisions.
Recently, Journey Makers at Sydney Light Rail have witnessed heart-stopping incidents where distracted or unaware pedestrians walked into the path of oncoming light rail vehicles or ventured across tracks during red lights. Moments like these have inspired the “Don’t Run the Risk” campaign, a collective effort to promote safe travel behaviours.
The campaign, in collaboration with client Transport for NSW, will be rolled out across the light rail network, other customer channels and social media during the school holidays in Sydney. This is a popular period for families and visitors both local and international, some of whom may not be familiar with sharing spaces with light rail vehicles.
