MetroLink secure platform plan update-

Sent on behalf of Metro.

Below are updates regarding the MetroLink Secure Platform Plan.

The contractor will wire the turnstiles and gates at the Central West End (CWE) Station during the week of January 27th. Work on the remaining fencing on the southern side of the alignment is scheduled to begin in February.

We have successfully launched the Cortex and Delmar locations on the Missouri side. Although the weather in St. Louis has caused delays, we anticipate that CWE will be completed in February.
Additionally, we will implement the same educational component for CWE as we did for previous live locations. Secure Platform Plan Ambassadors will assist with the transition the day before and on the launch day. These times generally align with the morning commuter rush, typically between 6 am and 9 am. When the gates launch, our exceptional Transit Security Team members will be at each gate around the clock, ready to greet our customers.

Our “Ride On to a Safer Region” website also features an educational video about the Secure Platform Plan for all members of our transit community.
