FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 10, 2006 Ohio’s Reduction in Railroad Accidents The Angels on Track Foundation is proud to have played an important role in the reduction of railroad grade-crossing accidents and fatalities in Ohio. While recently released Federal Railroad Administration statistics report a slight decline in accidents for Ohio and across the United States, dangerous, unprotected, sight obstructed railroad crossings still exist. In 2005, Angels on Track continued to work with various county task forces to help fund the installation of crossing gates; distribute information on crossing safety; erect educational posterboards and billboards throughout Ohio; and run radio public service announcements. Virtually all Ohioans were exposed to the Foundation’s three “I” Program: Involvement (of local communities), Installation (of gates), and Implementation (enforcing existing laws and safety education).
