Incidents

In 2000, there were two accidents in which light rail trains failed to stop at the station, ran into the end bumpers, and telescoped into the station's roof. In one case, the operator was under the influence of cocaine and oxycodone; he was fired four days after the accident and charged with reckless endangerment. In the other case, the operator was under the influence of prescription medication that made him drowsy. As a result, a trip-stop was installed prior to the station.

A proper medical policy was also instituted at the insistence of the Federal Transit Administration.
