• Abstract:
  Trespassing along railroad and transit rights-of-way (ROW) is the leading cause of rail-related deaths in America. Nationally, more than 550 trespass fatalities and nearly as many injuries occur each year. The vast majority of these incidents are preventable. In general, most trespassers are pedestrians who use railroad tracks as a shortcut. The goal of this workshop was to share existing industry leading practices and explore new strategies that the rail industry could pursue to reduce the number of ROW trespasser incidents and fatalities. The Federal Railroad Administration and Federal Transit Administration anticipate that the results of this workshop will be used by U.S. Department of Transportation modal administrations and their stakeholders to enhance safety on the nation’s rail transportation network.
