Regulatory Oversight

The Rail Safety Section has regulatory responsibilities to assess the physical condition and safety needs of the approximately 4,800 public at-grade crossings throughout the state; oversee proper clearances in the vicinity of railroad tracks and rights-of-way; and ensure adequate sanitation and shelter facilities for railroad employees. This authority is granted under the provisions of the Railroad Code of 1993.

project funding

The Local Grade Crossing Program (LGCP) provides funding to assist local road authorities and railroad companies with the development and implementation of projects that improve motorist safety at public highway-railroad crossings. Most projects are connected to regulatory orders issued by the Rail Safety Section.
