Each year, Operation Lifesaver's network of trained, certified Presenters conduct free programs on rail safety education for hundreds of groups around the country.

Most OL Presenters are volunteers donating personal time to speak with schoolchildren, community organizations, driver ed classes, professional truck and bus drivers, emergency response personnel and law enforcement officers, educating them about highway-rail grade crossing safety and the importance of staying off railroad tracks and property.

Additional Presenters represent local, state and federal government agencies, private companies, railroads and other organizations. No matter where they're from, our dedicated Presenters share a common goal: To reduce the likelihood of collisions between people/vehicles and trains through rail safety education.
