NEW PRIORITY FOR GRADE CROSSING SAFETY

Grade crossing safety has a new national priority. For the first time in history, Highway Trust Fund money is authorized specifically for rail-highway crossing safety projects. Also for the first time, Federal money is available for crossing projects off the Federal-aid highway systems. How much money is actually available? What kind of projects can it be used for? Who has charge of planning how it will be spent? The purpose of this article is to provide answers to these and other questions--as a guide for follow-up action at local and state levels.
