On August 13, 2020, the U.S. Department of Transportation Volpe Center (USA) hosted the ninth meeting of the Global Railway Alliance for Suicide Prevention (GRASP). The GRASP working group has met since January 2014 in an effort to share information about efforts to prevent railroad trespass and suicide incidents and to mitigate the consequences of these events.

This meeting was unique to meetings so far with a central theme of COVID-19 and its effects in each group member’s country.
