(OLI), annually teaches roughly 2.7 million people about the importance of crossing railroad tracks safely and avoiding trespassing on railroad tracks. However, freight, passenger and transit rail traffic is growing, and with the growing tide of distracted behavior thanks to mobile electronic devices, the mandate to reach, and reteach, more people is evident.
