Public Awareness Campaigns

Stop Track Tragedies is Operation Lifesaver’s rail safety education campaign in the U.S. and Canada.

Operation Lifesaver, Inc. works in partnership with the U.S. Department of Transportation and other organizations to observe Rail Safety Week (RSW) each year to raise awareness of the need for rail safety education.

Learning about safe railroad behavior has helped reduce the number of train and motor vehicle collisions by 83% from 1972. Operation Lifesaver, Inc.'s "See Tracks? Think Train!" campaign helps keep people safe when walking or driving near railroad tracks.

We're working to prevent incidents between trespassers on railroad tracks and trains. Our near miss/headphone safety campaign is aimed at preventing near misses and trespass incidents.

It is crucial that you know the facts, recognize the signs and make safe choices on and off campus – whether walking or driving around railroad tracks and trains.
