State Highway-Rail Grade Crossing Action Plan [3.6.12]

Section 202 of the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (RSIA08), Public Law 110-432 (H.R.2095 / S.1889), that was signed into law on 16 October 2008 required the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to identify the ten States with the most highway-rail grade crossing collisions, on average, over the past three years, and to require those States to develop State highway-rail grade crossing action plans. Section 202 further provided that these plans must identify specific solutions for improving safety at crossings, including highway-rail grade crossing closures or grade separations, and must focus on crossings that have experienced multiple collisions, or are at high risk for such collisions.

GEORGIA CHILD INJURY PREVENTION PLANNING [5.4.11]

The Georgia Office of Child Fatality Review (OCFR) and the Injury Prevention Section (IPS) of the Georgia Division of Public Health (GDPH) have led the process to develop the Framework for Georgia Child Injury Prevention Planning (FCIPP). Development of the framework has been under the direction of the OCFR’s Prevention Committee. Its members represent key state agencies and community organizations that provide services to children. The prevention committee decided that the framework would focus on primary prevention — to prevent the injury-causing event, promote use of evidence-based interventions, and target injury-related health disparities, where possible. The mission of this collaborative process is to prevent childhood injuries. The framework is a tool to achieve this mission.
