Welcome to the NASA Confidential Close Call Reporting System!

The Confidential Close Call Reporting System (C 3 RS) is a partnership between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), in conjunction with participating railroad carriers and labor organizations. The program is designed to improve railroad safety by collecting and analyzing reports which describe unsafe conditions and events in the railroad industry. Employees will be able to report safety issues or “close calls” voluntarily and confidentially.

During the on-going COVID-19 crisis, C3RS is still accepting and screening each confidential safety report.



We encourage each reporter to provide detailed information when submitting a safety incident report. Please remember to provide enough details to answer: WHO was involved, WHAT was the event, WHERE did it occur, WHEN did it occur, WHY do you think it happened and HOW could this event be prevented in the future.
