California Operation Lifesaver (CAOL) is an independent non-profit rail safety education and awareness program dedicated to ending collisions, fatalities and injuries at highway-rail grade crossings and on railroad rights of way in the State of California. California has the highest number of fatalities for both railroad trespassing and highway-rail grade crossing incidents in the United States… almost all of these deaths are preventable.

California Operation Lifesaver is an independent non-profit rail safety education organization. We rely on the support of private citizens, corporations, state and local transit organizations, as well as our trained team of Authorized Presenter Volunteers. All our supporters have the CAOL Mission at the heart of their dedicated participation. Through our focused rail safety education, we work together with a mutual goal to save lives and eliminate track tragedies at highway rail grade crossings and along railroad rights-of-way.
