GOALS
& STRATEGIES

Ensure All Rail Crossings
are in Compliance with
Federal and/or State
Directives

traffic signals and railway crossing
gates. This effort will improve
conditions for all users at these
potential conflict points.

maintain essential services during
emergency situations.

and procedures in managing
emergencies and incidents

on city’s designated emergency
evacuation routes
b. Upgrade the ATSAC Communications
Network that serves emergency
