Short line railroad crossing study in dist 2 - area 2 & 3

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded a $450,000 Formula Grant to the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) Division of Intermodal on June 18, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This award supports a Short Line Railroad Crossing Study in District 2, Areas 2 and 3 within Georgia. The study represents planning and research activities eligible under the Highway Planning and Construction program, which authorizes federal funding for comprehensive transportation infrastructure planning, design, and improvement projects across state highway systems.

The project deliverables encompass a detailed analysis and evaluation of short line railroad crossings in the specified geographic areas of Georgia, supporting GDOT's transportation planning and safety enhancement objectives. As a formula grant administered through GDOT's intermodal division, the funding aligns with the state's federal-aid highway program responsibilities and supports transportation planning activities that inform broader infrastructure investment decisions within the state's multimodal transportation network.
