Abstract:

In 1998, Salisbury became the first city in the Southeast to use an electronic ticketing system to catch railroad crossing violations. Henderson Street was one of the city's worst crossings, averaging three violations a week during the twenty-week baseline period. Violations dropped to .65 per week when ticketing began. Nationally, the state ranked fourteenth in 1997 in train/vehicle collisions.
