DREW MCCASKEY IS NOW STATE COORDINATOR FOR DELAWARE OPERATION LIFESAVER
DART First State Employee Joins 48 Operation Lifesaver State Coordinators
ALEXANDRIA —Operation Lifesaver, Inc.’s (OLI) President and CEO Joyce Rose is pleased to announce that Drew S. McCaskey is now the state coordinator for Delaware Operation Lifesaver. McCaskey is a marketing coordinator and web manager for DART First State and the Delaware Transit Corporation, a division of the Delaware Department of Transportation.
“Drew has been part of the Operation Lifesaver fold for quite some time,” Rose said. “He’s been an advocate for transit, handles many OLI-related requests already and brings a wealth of communications experience to the table. So it’s a natural progression for him to come aboard as Doug Andrews, our previous Delaware state coordinator, transitions to his next career endeavor.”
Operation Lifesaver, Inc., has 49 state programs (Virginia and Maryland operations are combined), each directed by state coordinators who manage a team of volunteers, plan awareness-raising activities and conduct rail safety and anti-trespass training.
McCaskey has more than 30 years of contracting and engineering experience including the design and construction of transportation systems and has managed projects such as rail station design improvements and construction of rail electrification systems. At DART, he is responsible for creating media campaigns to increase public awareness of transit safety issues, which is a key responsibility of Operation Lifesaver state coordinators.
