Statistics behind Train Accidents

Did you Know?

Every 3 hours, a person or car is hit by a train

In 2017, there were 2,106 collisions reported at rail crossings in the U.S.

More than 80% of railroad crossings lack gates and/or lights

Most railroad accidents occur at unprotected crossings

Technologies that were used to develop the railroad systems used today, were made more than 70 years ago, which is still relied upon, with little progress made to improve these technologies
The facts may be scary, but we can do something about it!
