Who We Are

Texas Operation Lifesaver is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public safety organization committed to reducing the number of tragic incidents at highway-rail grade crossing intersections and trespassing on railroad rights-of-way.

By making free Operation Lifesaver presentations to all age groups and to various professions (bus drivers, professional truck drivers, law enforcement, first responders, and others), our organization educates the public on how to make good decisions around railways in order to stay safe and alive.

Supported by group-appropriate visual materials, videos, and brochures, these presentations encourage the citizens of Texas to become actively involved in enhancing rail safety in their communities.
