complying with the new ban on cell phones.&nbsp; The California Public Utilities Commission unanimously voted last week to enact a regulation that prohibits rail transit operators in the state from using new or old cell phones or any other type of electronic communications device while working.&nbsp; Any employee who is directly involved with the operation of rail systems is affected by the new regulation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>\u201cThe CPUC is sending a clear message to operators tempted by the attraction of cell phone use \u2013 it\u2019s not worth it.&nbsp; You will be held accountable,\u201d says Commissioner Mike Florio.&nbsp; Operators are not being banned for having cell phones with them, but the devices must be turned off and stowed while they are on the job.&nbsp; Rafael Cabrera, the union chief for Muni operators, said he had not yet seen the details of the new regulation and refused to comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>An emergency ban on cell phone use was first enacted three years ago back in 2008 following a train crash in Los Angeles that injured over 100 people and killed 25, with the locomotive engineer found to have been sending a text with his cell phone when the disaster happened.&nbsp; Now the rule has been made permanent, and surveillance cameras placed in the cabs in order to ensure that operators comply.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Operators on Metro train stations will be monitored by video cameras in order to ensure that they are complying with the new ban on cell
