⦾ End the Wait. Know Before You Go.
Railroad crossings don’t have to be a daily frustration. Oculus Rail delivers timely crossing intelligence —helping drivers, cities, and emergency responders make smarter, safer routing decisions.
⦾ Tackle the Challenges That Matter Most
Cut driver frustration and traffic delays. No more guessing games. With Oculus Rail’s free mobile app, drivers see real-time crossing status and can reroute before getting stuck. That means less idling, fewer emissions, and smoother commutes for everyone.
⦾ Speed Up Emergency Response
When every second counts, blocked crossings can cost lives. Oculus Rail is available to help first responders choose the fastest, safest route—no more waiting for trains to pass.
⦾ Make Crossings Safer for Everyone
Informed drivers make safer decisions. Timely crossing data reduces risky behavior like gate-running and illegal crossing attempts. Oculus Rail helps municipalities identify high-risk locations and implement data-driven safety improvements.
⦾ Turn Data Into Action
Stop guessing—start knowing. Our Oculus Rail municipal dashboard gives cities the insights they need—showing when, where, and how long crossings are blocked. Use the data to secure funding, plan improvements, and make data-driven transportation decisions with confidence.

The Sorensen Institute for Political Leadership at the University of Virginia was founded in 1993 to identify, educate, and train emerging leaders from throughout the Commonwealth.
Through a variety of programs—for high school and college leaders to first-time political candidates and influential business and community leaders—the Sorensen Institute has established itself as a powerful and effective force for restoring public confidence in our political system.
At the heart of every Sorensen program are three central themes: ethics in public service, the power of bipartisanship, and a concentrated study of public policy issues.
Do you know someone who would be perfect for one of our programs? Please visit our new referrals page at http://www.sorenseninstitute.org/referrals to pass along their information to us.
