NEW ORLEANS, LA, July 28, 2010 – Garrett Hartley, the kicker for the New Orleans Saints whose last-minute, 40-yard field goal kick sent his team to the 2010 Super Bowl, emphasizes the importance of making safe decisions quickly at railroad crossings in a new public service announcement filmed here. Rail safety nonprofit Operation Lifesaver (www.oli.org) and Hartley teamed up on the project.

“When you come to a railroad crossing, the decisions you make can mean the difference between life – or death,” says Helen Sramek, President of Operation Lifesaver, Inc. “Garrett Hartley is well-known to fans along the Gulf Coast and nationwide, and we are grateful to him for reminding drivers and pedestrians that it only takes an instant for lives to change.“
