People & Safety
Safety is foundational. Everything we do demonstrates an appreciation for quality of life, and every act values the lives of our employees, contractors, co-workers, customers, and communities.
Advancing the well-being of our riders, our communities, and our planet, one ride at a time.
Metrolink is Southern California’s regional passenger rail service. As a leader in sustainable transportation and a force for equity and economic prosperity, we work hard every day to make our region more accessible by train. We improve the quality of life for all of our communities by empowering riders to choose how they travel and connecting people to greater opportunity and new experiences. As a result, our riders get where they need to go without worrying about access to transportation or sitting in traffic. Metrolink counts nearly 12 million annual boardings, removes an estimated 9.3 million vehicles from the road and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 130,000 metric tons with our fleet of Tier 4 clean technology locomotives each year.

Our employees stand at the very heart of our success – they devote their ideas, creativity, knowledge and entrepreneurial spirit to ensuring a great customer experience. We support and develop our employees through targeted, customized, professional development and a healthy work-life balance, a culture focused on innovation and connecting people to opportunity.
