ARE YOU READY FOR IT? Brightline Announces Taylor Swift Concert Sweepstakes Winner Tay-keover Sing-Along train is 25 days away

MIAMI (Sept. 23, 2024) – Today, Brightline selected the winner of The Big Concert Sweepstakes, which includes two tickets to The Big Concert on Sunday, Oct. 20, at Hard Rock Stadium and four SMART round-trip Brightline tickets for the first-of-its-kind Tay-keover Sing-Along train. Brightline is also excited to announce more than 42,000 signed up for the ticket giveaway by taking the Rail Safety Pledge, committing to be safe around active railroad tracks.

 

See Tracks? Think Train! Week (formerly known as Rail Safety Week) starts today and is a week-long effort spearheaded by Operation Lifesaver that focuses on promoting rail safety and the importance of making safe choices when walking, biking or driving around active railroad crossings and tracks.

 

“This sweepstakes was a tremendous success. We introduced rail safety education to a new audience by leveraging the excitement and anticipation of one of the biggest pop culture events,” said Travis Christ, Brightline’s Chief Commercial Officer. “To date, more than 42,000 people have taken the Rail Safety Pledge, and we look forward to continuing to share this important message.”

 

SEE TRACKS? THINK TRAIN! WEEK

During See Tracks? Think Train! Week, Brightline is partnering with more than a dozen law enforcement agencies along the corridor to conduct educational outreach at highway railroad grade crossings. Brightline teammates from the Safety & Security department will join local officials in handing out rail safety materials and encouraging the public to stay safe around active railroads.

 

Brightline looks at safety from a three pronged approach - education, enforcement and engineering. This year, Brightline unveiled the rail safety-focused model train exhibit at the Children’s Museum of the Treasure Coast, and construction on the $45 million RAISE Grant project will start in 2025, which will include enhancements to the corridor in seven counties between Miami-Dade and Brevard counties. The company will continue working with local, state and federal partners on suicide prevention strategies and enforcement efforts.

 

Education remains at the forefront of the company’s rail safety outreach plans. To date, more than 42,000 people have taken the Rail Safety Pledge. Brightline will continue to partner with external organizations to encourage more members of the public to support this important initiative.
