Statistics Overview
In 1972, when Operation Lifesaver began, there were approximately 12,000
collisions between trains and motor vehicles annually. By 2008, the most
recent year for which final statistics are available, the number of
train/motor vehicle collisions had been reduced by approximately 80% to
2,391. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) within the United States
Department of Transportation (USDOT) is responsible for collecting
information about highway-rail grade crossing and pedestrian/trespasser
incidents.
