Curate
Gather rail safety statistics, trends and the latest in rail safety engineering and enforcement from a wide variety of sources across the United States and worldwide.
Communicate
Meet the third Saturday of each month, host a rail safety summit every two years, provide regular social media updates and participate in various community and industry events to promote our message of rail safety.
Motivate
Work with community and other governmental leaders to share new technology, funding opportunities and to mobilize support for safety at railroad crossings and along railways.
See Tracks? Think Train Week 2024
The DRSC vigorously supports See Tracks? Think Trains Week (formerly known as Rail Safety Week). The week of Sept. 23-29 will be devoted to concentrating public attention on rail safety education to prevent railroad crossing and trespass incidents across North America. This event is sponsored by Operation Lifesaver Inc.
The DRSC is airing a series of safety messages on WBBM-TV Chicago in support of this event. These messages will highlight the importance of those little blue signs at railroad crossings. They could save your life. Learn how by watching a short video.
