Rail crossing cmmty impact index

The Ohio Department of Transportation was awarded $300,000 under the Highway Planning and Construction Formula Grant program by the Federal Highway Administration on September 13, 2022. This funding will support a second phase of research to further develop and validate a methodology for evaluating the relative impact of occupied public railway-highway grade crossings on road users and communities. The initial Adaptive Capacity Study was a partnership between ODOT and ORDC to establish this impact assessment approach. The follow-on work funded through this award will advance the methodology and analysis initiated through the prior collaboration.
