Happy !

This summer, out of nearly 3,500 applicants nationwide, we selected 88 students to join Metro’s internship program in a range of departments, from safety and infrastructure to finance and customer experience.

Yesterday was a memorable day, as interns got a first-hand look at Red Line summer construction. We’re proud of the fresh ideas they’re bringing to Metro to help us serve our customers better.

Thanks to our amazing interns for their curiosity and enthusiasm!

Over the weekend, our team was hard at work on the Orange Line, installing and securing new rail ties. 🟠 Rail ties act as the foundation of the rail system, making sure rails are the correct distance apart, and support the weight of trains. Replacing them before they wear out is an important part of keeping Metro safe and reliable.
