From providing guidelines for traffic control devices at crossings, to developing the Rails With Trails report, the crossing team has worked with other governmental agencies and private-sector industries to prevent injuries and deaths.

The FRA's crossing team comprises a staff of 10 headquarters personnel in Washington, D.C., and 18 regional managers and assistants in offices across the country.
