Amtrak, Metropolitan Transportation Authority, New Jersey Transit, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and other regional transit operators are coming together tomorrow to simultaneously sound vehicle horns at 3 p.m. EST to honor essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The #SoundTheHorn campaign is meant to pay tribute to frontline workers, including train engineers.
The partner agencies in New York and New Jersey anticipate nearly 4,400 trains, buses and ferries will participate, according to a NJ Transit press release.
Anyone who sees or hears trains, buses or ferries sounding their horns during the campaign is encouraged to use the #SoundTheHorn hashtag to post audio and video on social media, they said.
Metra officials announced the Chicago commuter railroad will join the East Coast agencies by sounding its train horns.
Meanwhile, Port Authority Transit Corp. in Pennsylvania will shine blue lights at its rail station concourses in support of health care and other essential workers.
