The Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration awarded $345,038.67 under the Highway Planning and Construction federal grant program (CFDA 20.205) on July 19, 2021 to the California Department of Transportation. The funding will support grade crossing hazards elimination and safety improvements at the intersection of San Gorgonio Avenue and the Union Pacific Railroad in the City of Banning, Riverside County, California. Specifically, the grant funds will be used to address hazards posed by the existing at-grade crossing through safety upgrades, in alignment with the goals of the Railroad-Highway Grade Crossing Section 130 Program to improve safety at public crossings. As a formula grant, the funding is provided to the state transportation agency to address priority safety issues at highway-rail grade crossings.
