CUE Bus Launchs #soundthehorn To Honor Fairfax Essential Transportation Workers

Press release from the City of Fairfax:

April 15, 2020

Amtrak, MTA, NJ Transit, and several other transit agencies have launched the #SoundTheHorn campaign – a coordinated effort to simultaneously sound their vehicle horns at 3:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, April 16 to honor heroic transportation and other essential workers across the country. Transit agencies across the country are invited to join in, and CUE is proud to 'sound our horns' in solidarity to honor transit operators as they continue to provide essential service.

As a tribute to the essential workers on the front lines of this public health crisis, including transportation workers, Amtrak trains and transit vehicles for a number of agencies across the country that are in service at 3:00 p.m. will give two one-second horn blasts in solidarity with partner agencies. Heroic transportation workers continue to provide critical service for healthcare workers, first responders, childcare workers, grocery store employees and other heroes who are performing critically essential work during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Listen for CUE bus horns this Thursday at 3:00 p.m. If you see or hear transit vehicles sounding their horns at that time, you are encouraged to use the #SoundTheHorn hashtag to post audio and video, and tag us on social media.
