About Operation Lifesaver

Minnesota Operation Lifesaver is part of national Operation Lifesaver, Inc., a private, non-profit educational organization dedicated to ending crashes, deaths and injuries at highway-rail crossings and on railroad property.

Operation Lifesaver's (OL's) role is public safety education. OL's mission is to teach people how to make safe decisions around tracks and trains. We want drivers and pedestrians to understand the signs and signals and conditions they might encounter. Operation Lifesaver also advises people how to report highway-rail grade crossing equipment malfunctions.

Operation Lifesaver promotes the 3 E's: Education, Engineering and Enforcement. Operation Lifesaver:

• educates the public about highway-rail grade crossing and pedestrian safety.
• endorses continuous safety improvements at highway-rail grade crossings through design and technology.
• encourages active enforcement of laws governing crossings.
