Stop The Death Trains
.
Every few weeks another person dies when they get struck by a commuter train, traveling at high speeds through our densely populated communities, on old and unsecured railroad tracks. These tracks must be made secure, or the commuter trains must slow down, or stop running altogether. The benefit to the few commuters that use these fossil fueled trains is not worth the cost of human lives. Fifteen year old, Austin Price, was just killed in San Lorenzo. This must stop now!

Why is this important?
Bay Area commuter trains keep killing, as they speed through our communities on old, unfenced railroad tracks. Stop the the madness of this loss of human life, and all for the sake of a relatively few commuters. Tracks of high speed commuter trains must be secure!
