Community Profiles

Community Profiles
Safe Kids is pilot testing a new resource that describes injuries occurring on and around railroad tracks at the community-level. Seven communities were chosen for the pilot profiles, which will serve as the basis for future profiles for other select areas. Data are for rail-related injuries reported to the Federal Railroad Administration between 2011 and 2020 and describe the injuries during that time in terms of environmental, circumstantial, and behavioral factors. The pilot profiles for each community can be downloaded below.
