Amtrak announced all 11 members of its executive leadership team signed the Operation Lifesaver, Inc. (OLI) Rail Safety Pledge.
Those who take the rail safety pledge can use the share button to post on social media. Using the hashtags #IPledgeYouPledge and #RailSafety, Amtrak encourages others to make their own commitment to saving lives:
I will make safe choices around railroad tracks and trains by obeying warning signs and always expecting a train.
I will stay off the tracks including when taking photographs or filming videos and will never walk on or too close to railroad tracks (it’s dangerous and illegal).
I will only walk, ride or drive across railroad tracks at designated crossings.
I will share the rail safety message with my friends and family.
Every three hours in the U.S., a person or vehicle is hit by a train. Making the right choices can save lives while railroads continue the vital business of delivering goods and people.
“While we show up every day to deliver a safe experience for our customers, employees and communities, we can only do so much as individuals,” said Steve Predmore, Amtrak executive VP. “Rail Safety is a team effort. As we continue to grow, the best resource to address track incidents is to come together as one.”
Amtrak said it continues to work closely with OLI to #STOPTrackTragedies by emphasizing the dangers of being on rail property or disregarding warnings at crossings.
