We’re excited to announce the launch of our Just-in-time (JIT) video library, featuring more than 60 videos in four broad categories: construction, maintenance, materials, and traffic and safety. Out JIT videos can be accessed anytime through TC3’s YouTube channel, and are completely free! These helpful videos share information on test procedures, field inspection, maintenance best practices, and more.
All videos were provided by various agencies, and while they may include some state-specific verbiage, the content has been thoroughly reviewed and proved to be beneficial to all technical staff involved in highway operations regardless of geographic location. We will continue adding training videos to our channel; make sure to subscribe, so you won’t miss out on updates and new releases.
Below, you’ll find titles to some videos that might interest you!
NHTSA, in coordination with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), is launching the 2019 national Rail Grade Crossing Safety campaign to increase public awareness about the dangers around railroad tracks and to reduce deaths and injuries.
Motor vehicle crashes at rail grade crossings are avoidable. This campaign is the latest in a 3-year, focused effort to reverse the uptick in rail grade crossing fatalities. Our message is simple: Stop. Trains Can’t.
