A rail safety video presented by Los Angeles Metro, "Tracks are for Trains" is meant for young children below the age of 10. Focusing on the Metro Blue Line and Metro Gold Line at street level, the video was developed to assist in train-the-trainer programs after partnerships were formed with 10 school districts along Metro rail lines. It features Metro Rail's former Rail Executive Gerald Francis.

The video has won 11 national awards: The Aurora Awards—Three Platinum Best of Show awards for Directing, Use of Music, and Public Service and one Gold Award for original music; Five Finalist Awards from the international Telly Awards; and a World Gold Medal from the prestigious New York Festivals against competition from 58 countries. Additionally, the video won a First Place Award from APTA.
