GC-3: Focus routine Operation Lifesaver/Highway-Rail Grade Crossing Safety program training in communities along the designated route in conformance with current state and FRA programs.
The purpose of this program is to provide an enhanced level of public awareness and education regarding highway-rail grade crossing safety along the designated route.
Prior to the first shipment and periodically for subsequent shipments, as appropriate, the offeror or designated agent will:
! provide assistance and information to the FRA and the various State and local agencies who are coordinating with the offeror on the shipments of the material, toward the accomplishment of this objective.
Prior to the first shipment and for subsequent shipments, as appropriate, the FRA will:
! promote Operation Lifesaver (OL) training along the designated route based upon a prioritization principle of those areas along the route where data show an elevated highway-rail grade crossing accident/incident rate; ! coordinate with the offeror and appropriate State and local agencies along the route to determine the feasibility of providing OL “train-the-trainer” training to appropriate State and local representatives, and thus increase the ability to provide this training to a larger segment of the public along the route than could be achieved by a unilateral FRA effort; ! make available to the offeror FRA’s ability to provide presentations on highway-rail grade crossing safety at “town meetings” that could be held in communities along the designated route.
SECURITY (S)
S-1: The DOT Office of Intelligence and Security will assist the FRA in addressing and coordinating on security issues with the offeror, law enforcement and intelligence communities, such as the FBI, CIA, railroad security forces and other State, local and tribal agencies.
Provides information and assistance to the security community on rail operations in order to address security issues associated with the rail transport of the material.
Prior to the initial shipment and throughout the shipping program, the FRA will:
! liaison with the security community, (DOE, FBI, CIA, railroad security, State, local and tribal law enforcement, etc.) by participating in security planning and critiquing activities with the DOT’s Office of Intelligence and Security.
