About Washington Operation Lifesaver
Washington Operation Lifesaver (WAOL) is a non-profit group that gives free education to help stop crashes, injuries, and deaths on or near railroad tracks and crossings. We teach people how to stay safe at railroad crossings and warn about the risks of trespassing on railroad property.
