Three call boxes are now operating on the Sacramento River Bike Trail, with one placed between Old Sacramento and Discovery Park. The other two are between Miller Park and the end of the trail at Captains Table Drive. Eight of the 9 call boxes on the Northern Bike Trail are placed within Sacramento City limits and will directly call the City Police. The call box placed closest to Rio Linda will connect callers to the County Sheriff. The yellow and black call boxes are solar-powered cellular phones and require no dialing.
Users simply pick up the handset and push one button to initiate the call.
The 12 new call boxes brings to 33 the number of units on area bike trails.
