Abstract

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