Railway-Highway Grade CrossingThe Office of Safety is re-emphasizing the importance of maintaining current and accurate highway-rail grade crossing inventories. Title 23, Part 924 of the Code of Federal Regulations (23 CFR 924) contains the policy regarding the development and implementation of a comprehensive highway safety improvement program (HSIP) for each State. Part of the FHWA's HSIP planning component requires States to:
We ask that our stakeholders to support the States with all inventory efforts in support to the Office of Safety's memorandum and guidance entitled "GUIDANCE ON 23 U.S.C. § 130 ANNUAL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR RAILWAY-HIGHWAY CROSSINGS". We also encourage the States to share and/or update their grade crossing inventory information with the Federal Railroad Administration's Office of Safety. If you need additional information, please feel free to contact the FHWA Division Office in your respective State. Again, thank you for your commitment to Safety, and as always, please remember to "Buckle Up" and "Always Expect A Train."
