Guidelines for riders

The Tram is public transit. You can help make riding it a safe, enjoyable experience for everyone by following guidelines and courtesies. Some of those include:

  • When the cabin is full, consider placing large bags at your feet.
  • Allow first-time riders, especially children, to find room closer to a window.
  • Conversations aren't private, so wait until exiting the Tram to discuss sensitive or private information.
  • Carry any lab samples in approved containers.
  • If you're a healthcare provider, the Tram isn't patient transportation, so consider riding the Tram to meet your patient instead.
