Prioritization Procedure for Proposed Road–Rail Grade Separation Projects Along Specific Rail Corridors

This report provides tools to assist state and local planners in making better prioritization and investment decisions for road–rail at-grade crossing separations. The report provides a more comprehensive means of comparing similar project alternatives within a specific rail corridor. Planning factors include economic, environmental, and community livability factors to support a robust decision process for making grade separation decisions. A key outcome of the research is a spreadsheet tool designed to support analyses required for many state and federal competitive funding programs.
