INDIANAPOLIS — Every year, 2,100 North Americans are killed or seriously injured when they engage in unsafe behavior around tracks and trains. Indiana Operation Lifesaver is joining Operation Lifesaver Inc. (OLI) and State Operation Lifesaver Programs across the nation during the week of Sept. 23-29 to observe Rail Safety Week, urging the public to help #STOPTrackTragedies.
In Indiana each year, approximately 100 people are killed or injured in grade crossing and trespassing incidents.
Indiana Operation Lifesaver’s Jessica Feder said, “Indiana Rail Safety Week activities in Indiana emphasize community education events and social media activity sharing the lifesaving rail safety education message.”
During Indiana Rail Safety Week, new social media graphics, videos, and public service announcements will be released. The full campaign can be accessed here or by going to stoptracktragedies.ca.
