In 2006, the AARP Foundation and the IPT teamed up to create The Campaign for Wise and Safe Investing™, a national and state-level partnership between AARP state offices and their local State Securities Regulators in 35 states. The primary goal of the Campaign is to impact older investors and potential investors with research based investor education and protection. To date, twenty-seven AARP state offices and their respective State Securities Regulators have implemented a variety of programs to increase awareness of fraudulent practices and educate maturing investors. Since CWSI’s inception, the partnership has conservatively trained nearly 250 volunteer speakers, sponsored almost 500 events that were attended by more than 26,000 people, and raised the awareness of hundreds of thousands of investors through numerous media activities.
At the national level, the Campaign has undertaken consumer research and focus groups. Based on that research, the Campaign developed materials in a variety of formats that are customizable for use by the states. Other national activities include media outreach and promotion, sharing of research findings, and incorporating other IPT programs and relationships such as the MoneyTrack public television series and the public library program.
The programs undertaken at the State level in 27 States include a variety of “high touch” events including “Scam Jams,” lunch and learn sessions, seminars, shredding events, and educational events. Many State have also worked to train senior “Fraud Fighters,” volunteers who work with their peers to help them avoid investment fraud. Millions more Americans of all ages have seen and heard the public service announcements on radio and television.

Philippines Light Rail Transit Public Transportation
The Manila Light Rail Transit System (Filipino: Sistema ng Magaan na Riles Panlulan ng Maynila),[citation needed] popularly known as the LRT, is a metropolitan rail system serving the Metro Manila area in the Philippines. Its twenty-nine stations over 28.8 kilometers (17.9 mi) of mostly elevated track form two lines. LRT Line 1, also called the Yellow Line, opened in 1984 and travels a north–south route. LRT Line 2, the Purple Line, was completed in 2004 and runs east–west.
The LRT is operated by the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA), a government-owned and controlled corporation under the authority of the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC). Along with the Manila Metro Rail Transit System (MRT, also called the Blue Line), and the Philippine National Railways (PNR), the LRT is part of Metro Manila's rail transportation infrastructure known as the Strong Republic Transit System (SRTS)
