In the wake of three bus-related fatalities this year, Metro is launching a pedestrian safety campaign using new technology, public education and efforts to reach children.
The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority will distribute blinking pins, post safety messages at bus stops and Metro stations and hold a school poster competition to address the bus safety issue. It also has equipped 55 buses with detection devices that will alert drivers when objects are too close.
