Operation Clear Track

Posted: September 19, 2018

This is your official invitation to participate in “Operation Clear Track” on Tuesday, September 25, 2018 hosted by Amtrak and Operation Lifesaver Inc. to mark National Rail Safety Week.If you can devote three hours to railroad safety on this day, we would be honored to have you as a member of our national railroad safety law enforcement team.

As background, “Operation Clear Track” is a one-day safety initiative that brings police and sheriff’s departments together nationwide to enforce state grade crossing and trespassing laws on America’s railroad tracks.

Since its inception last year, we have enhanced the operation by allowing each department to set their own schedules and determine which railroad grade crossings they would like to cover during the requested three-hour enforcement period. On September 25th, participants will be asked to report to at least two different railroad grade crossings in their communities to issue verbal/written warnings or citations to individuals trespassing on railroad property or failing to comply with state grade crossing safety laws. The three-hour commitment can be carried out all at once or spread out over different shifts throughout the day.

Attached is a letter from our Police Chief with more information on the event and a link to register your department and request free pocket safety cards that Amtrak will ship to you for public distribution during the enforcement window. I have also provided the link here.

If you agree to participate, please register today and put in your request for cards ASAP as we are trying to bring more than 400 law enforcement agencies on board as this year’s goal.

We hope you and your staff can dedicate this time to railroad safety to keep your community safe. We look forward to working with you on this critical safety initiative. Please contact Barbara Petito at [email protected] or call (202) 906-3337 if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you and be safe.
