The Central Region of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is proud to be joining forces with agencies across Canada and North America today for Operation Clear Track – the continent’s single largest rail-safety law-enforcement initiative.
Coordinated by Amtrak, Operation Lifesaver Inc., and Operation Lifesaver Canada, Operation Clear Track aims to reduce railway crossing and trespassing incidents in Canada and the U.S. – incidents which seriously injure or kill more than 2,100 people each year. The event is held annually during Rail Safety Week from September 23 to 29, 2024.
The OPP is participating in Operation Clear Track this year to promote rail safety by having conversations and sharing tips with drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists. These tips include:
- Stay at a safe distance from trains and off railway property and tracks
- Don’t use train tracks as a shortcut
- Always obey railway signs and signals
