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.
For more information on the “Stop. Trains Can’t.” safety campaign, visit

April 24 and 25, 2019, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm (Field Location)
Classroom Training will be held at City Hall
(104 4th St., Murtaugh, Idaho 83344)
Murtaugh Highway District is sponsoring this training to improve the viability of their gravel road net-work and is providing the opportunity for other jurisdictions in the area to obtain similar background and training on improving the gravel road quality throughout Idaho. 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.
Please see the registration form for a three-day Gravel Road Seminar hosted by Murtaugh Highway District. The cost is only $50 per person.
The LHTAC T2 Center class schedule is available. Some classes have been added and updated. We encourage registering early to ensure your spot and to prevent any course cancellations.

• Basic information needed to work with state and local transportation departments, highway engineers, highway safety officials, civic groups, and other safety advocates.
• Clear descriptions of key funding and decision-making processes that affect roadway safety.
