(CHESTERTON) As the temporary closures of workplaces, events, schools, and other public areas increase, South Shore Line wants to keep the health and safety of all riders at the forefront. As a result, the Kids Ride Free spring break staycation promotion that was scheduled for March 21 - April 6, 2020, is now canceled.  

 "At South Shore Line, the safety of our passengers and employees is always our top priority.  While we are facing this global pandemic, we are doing everything we can to provide transportation for those who need the train while also keeping enough room in each car so that riders can practice social distancing. Many riders who are not working from home are still counting on us to get to their jobs or medical appointments, but we are doing our part to minimize leisure riding," said Nicole Barker, Director of Capital Investment and Implementation.
