Abstract

In response to a U.S. Department of Transportation study of rail-highway grade crossing safety in the United States, Congress passed the Highway Safety Act of 1973, which earmarked funds specifically for improvements to grade crossings. Law requires the states to establish programs for identifying and implementing crossing-improvement projects. This report examines the experiences of five states in establishing such programs. The programs are discussed in terms of initiation, project processing procedures, sources of funds, role of the regulatory agency, and maintenance of the improved crossing.
