Thursday, April 22, is National Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work Day and Metrolink is encouraging parents to participate in this important program by allowing them to bring their daughters or sons to work aboard Metrolink trains for free on that day.

National Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day was launched in April 2003 to encourage boys and girls to reach their full potential by participating fully in family, work and community. Parents are encouraged to bring their children to work to expose them to future opportunities in the workplace and to stimulate discussion about the importance of balancing work and family.

In order to take advantage of this offer Metrolink passengers need to be aware of the following guidelines:

• Passengers with any valid Metrolink ticket may participate.
• Each fare-paying adult may bring one child (ages 18 or younger) at no additional charge.
• Transfers are not available for children riding free. If you connect to another mode of public transportation such as a bus or the Metro Red Line subway, please purchase a ticket for each child from the appropriate transit entity.
• This offer is only available on April 22, 2010.

For further information about the fare exemption on April 22, call Metrolink at (800) 371-LINK (5465). To find out more about National Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day, visit www.daughtersandsonstowork.org.
