Operation Lifesaver, Inc. (OLI) is a non-profit organization and nationally-recognized leader of rail safety education. Since 1972, OLI has been committed to preventing collisions, injuries and fatalities on and around railroad tracks and highway-rail grade crossings, with the support of public education programs in states across the U.S.

Unfortunately, pedestrian and automobile collisions with trains have occurred all too frequently in the San Leandro / Oakland area including one death at the Davis Street railroad crossing located just a few yards from the Depot.

SLHRS volunteers have participated in Operation Lifesaver for over 20 years by presenting rail safety programs to San Leandro elementary school 6th graders.  To date, over 30,000 children have seen the Operation Lifesaver program.  To the best of our knowledge, no one who has attended the Operation Lifesaver presentations has been injured or killed by a train.
