SMART Train Safety Reminder
The Santa Rosa Police Department wants to remind you that the SMART train is currently conducting testing of trains on the tracks through Santa Rosa and Sonoma County. Please review the following safety points:
               
* See Tracks? Think Train! SMART is running trains up and down the system many times a day. Remember to stay safe by not walking or riding on, or along the tracks and not crossing the tracks unless at a marked crossing.
 
* Drivers are reminded to be patient and under no circumstances drive around the lowered gate arms. If for some reason you find yourself in between closed gate arms, drive out if you can. If your car is disabled on the tracks, exit the car immediately and call 911 for help.
 
* Trains don't have steering wheels and can't stop quickly. Stay off the tracks and only cross at marked crossings when safe to do so.
