Say hello 👋 Survey team members in blue vests are riding with you this month.

Through the end of September, you may be randomly selected to take our Origin and Destination Survey. It’s about five minutes of questions about the trip you’re taking that day, answered on a tablet.

And it’s completely voluntary and you can skip any question or stop at any time.

Your answers show us how CATS moves you, so we can serve you better. 🚍🚃

The wait is over!!! The pedestrian crossing in Southend is open.

When approaching the crossing, stop at the red line and look both ways. 🛑✋

Take headphones off and listen for approaching train bells and horns. Once you have verified no trains are approaching, you may cross! 🚶‍♂️🏃🏽‍♀️🚴🏿🛴
