TR News July-August 2019: Development, Implementation, and Evaluation of a Community-Based Trespass Prevention Model

Most rail trespassing casualties can be avoided. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and its safety partners conducted studies to better target and implement outreach, public education, and law enforcement efforts. The results, along with national workshops, led to the Community Trespass Prevention Guide, which documents a collaborative, step-by-step problem-solving approach for local communities, as well as the Community, Analysis, Response, and Evaluation—or CARE—model. The July-August 2019 TR News includes a featured story that outlines the research and process that led to CARE and describes real-world demonstrations of the model.
