 Metro held a Blue Line press event held on September 23, 2013 that was focused on Suicide Prevention and distributed door hangers about rail safety.  There was a question about how much money has been spent on additional signage and why the signage has not always been at stations and on trains. Metro advised that signage was put up in September because there is a special push to promote safety during Rail Safety Month. Additionally, Metro’s Transit Safety Education staff performs rail safety trainings to the community on year round.  About 75% of accidents on the Blue Line are suicide.  Demographics of the suicides show that most of the suicides committed are by 25-35 year old males.  Safety training for each rail line begins one year before the line is in operation. Trainings for the Crenshaw/LAX Transit Project are sl
