Special Lunch-Hour Commuter Walk Groups Starting at Various Stations

NOTE: These walk groups will meet at the specified Metrolink stations and walk the area surrounding the station. Because these walks are designed to meet over the lunch-hour (11 a.m. to 11:50 a.m.), they will not utilize the Metrolink or Metrobus. Although these walks are designed for commuters, everyone is invited to attend.
