 WHAT:                 Press conference to announce railway safety campaign.

Mayor Keith A. James and City representatives will announce a new railway safety campaign to encourage and empower the public to make good choices at highway-rail grade crossings and along the tracks. Additionally, Mayor James will unveil painted warnings at crossings to encourage pedestrians to cross tracks only when it is safe.

In the U.S., a person or vehicle is hit by a train every three hours. While the rail systems in the City are safe, deadly crashes or incidents do occur.

The City has made improvements to rail crossings to increase safety, and the railway safety campaign is yet another way the City is working to help keep the public safe.
