Abstract:

Incorrect driver behavior is the number one reason for railway crossing collisions. According to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), an annual average of 1,790 collisions and 222 fatalities occurred at public railway-highway crossings from 2009-2018. Education is an effective way to help reduce these numbers and ensure drivers, pedestrians, and emergency responders are aware of the dangers of being on and around railroad tracks. Many States and organizations are producing engaging and effective outreach strategies emphasizing that it is not only what you say—it is how you say it and who you say it to.
