Safety tips

All MARC passengers are urged to follow these guidelines during winter storms:

• Wear appropriate footwear with good tread. Men’s dress shoes and women’s heels are strongly discouraged.
• Add at least 20 extra minutes to your drive from home to the station. Roads may be icy/slick.
• Drive slowly in your station’s parking lot.
• WALK, DO NOT RUN, from your car to your train.
• Take extra care boarding and detraining, especially on low-level platforms.
