Testing Trains on Third Street Light Rail

Beginning on April 24, 2006 and continuing intermittently through June

Trains will operate from 4th & King Streets to Visitacion Valley along 3rd Street and Bayshore Boulevard, testing various elements of the new rail extension. During testing, trains will not pick up passengers.

Testing will occur from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., although occasional night testing is possible.
The purpose is to ensure that the construction meets all the technical specifications.
Safety reminder: motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists please use extra caution around the trains operating in the area.

Systemwide testing and staff training starts in July.
