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.

The three day seminar is Idaho Standards for Public Works Construction (ISPWC) and other appropriate standards will be referenced throughout the training.
Paragon Consulting, Inc. is using this opportunity to inform Murtaugh Highway District and other adjacent agencies of recent improvements in the techniques and materials making up the current state of practice related to effective gravel road maintenance.
