Starting Friday, September 19, interested individuals may download an entry form at

Finally, if you would like to see
extended hours for the Light Rail, beyond Midight, Make your voice heard Thursday, September 18 at 9:00am on the 12th Floor of City Hall in the Subcommittee Room at the Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee meeting. The possibility of extended hours for the new METRO Light Rail on special events and weekends will be discussed. The current hours of light rail operation (4 am - midnight) have been approved to coincide with other regional modes of public transit. Many citizens concerns include: safe transport for late-night workers, potential reduction in DUIs, and building a truly vibrant downtown nightlife.
