Rail Safety Education

Programs that are designed to increase public awareness of the measures that people can take to ensure their safety at highway-rail grade crossings and avoid the fatalities or injuries which may occur when people are crossing or walking on railroad tracks, playing on or around trains and tracks, fishing from railroad bridges, sleeping between the rails or hopping on and off railroad cars. Rail safety education programs may be tailored for specific types of groups including school bus drivers, professional truck drivers, teens, children and others.
