This paper presents an analysis of crashes between motor vehicles and light rail vehicles at light rail crossings that occurred on nine transit systems that have been in continuous operation for the years 2000 through 2009 and that responded to requests for crash data. No pedestrian or bicycle crashes were included in the analysis. The.. read more →
This report explores mitigation methods tested and used by transit agencies to reduce collisions between light rail vehicles (LRVs) and motor vehicles where light rail transit (LRT) runs through or adjacent to highway intersections controlled by conventional traffic signals. View Report read more →

This report addresses the safety and operating experience of light rail transit (LRT) systems with light rail vehicles (LRVs) operating on semi exclusive rights-of-way at speeds greater than 55 km/h (35 mph). The analysis presented in this report is based on interviews with LRT agency officials, field observations, and analysis of accident records and accident.. read more →
