95% of rail-related deaths involve drivers going through grade crossings or a person on the tracks — and with safe driver and pedestrian behavior, most of these are preventable. From virtual reality videos to national safety campaigns, see how railroads are playing their part and hear from FRA Administrator Ron Batory who says the choice of safety “is yours.”

Under the federal “Section 130” program, more than $230 million in federal funds are allocated annually for states to install new active warning devices, upgrade existing devices and improve grade crossing surfaces.
