The City of Emporia received a $1,202,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Railroad Administration (CFDA 20.327 - Railroad Crossing Elimination Program). The objective of the grant is to complete a comprehensive corridor study that identifies the improvements necessary to create a "sealed corridor" concept within the city. The study will include public engagement, creation of a project inventory, conceptual design, and an implementation phasing plan to support future improvement projects that enhance safety and mobility at highway-rail grade crossings. Key deliverables include a project management plan, existing conditions report, analysis of design concepts, and a capital cost estimate. The project is intended to benefit transportation users and railroad operators in Emporia by identifying solutions to mitigate train delays and conflicts during crossing events.
