Rail Safety
Why Rail Safety Matters
Rail safety is not just a matter of precaution; it's a commitment to protecting lives and fostering secure communities. Every year countless lives are affected by avoidable accidents around railroads and transit systems. Ensuring rail safety means preventing tragedies, preserving well-being and creating an environment where both pedestrians and commuters can move freely without fear. At CATS, we believe that raising awareness about safe practices around rail crossings and transit lines is a responsibility we all share. By educating ourselves and our communities about the importance of adhering to safety guidelines we are actively contributing to the protection of lives and the promotion of safer journeys for everyone.
