About this opportunity
The Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) Grant Program, administered by the Department of Transportation's Federal Railroad Administration, seeks to fund projects that enhance the safety, efficiency, and reliability of intercity passenger and freight rail systems. Eligible applicants include states, public agencies, railroads, nonprofits, tribal governments, and educational institutions, with projects focusing on deploying safety technology, capital improvements, grade crossing enhancements, and rail line relocations. The FRA will give preference to projects where the federal share is 50% or less, involve multiple funding sources, and demonstrate maximum net benefits through a comprehensive benefit-cost analysis. Evaluation criteria will consider the project's business plan, potential private sector participation, recipient's past performance, and alignment with departmental priorities. The application deadline is May 28, 2024, with required documentation including a project narrative, statement of work, benefit-cost analysis, and various federal forms.
The total program funding for FY23-24 is $2.478 billion, with individual project awards potentially ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. The program includes an additional $2 million specifically for Magnetic Levitation Technology Deployment. Performance periods for awarded projects typically span two to five years, with projects potentially located across various states and focusing on both urban and rural rail infrastructure improvements. Recipients must comply with federal requirements, including Buy America provisions, civil rights laws, and environmental regulations, and will be subject to ongoing reporting and record-keeping obligations for three years following the grant award.
Synopsis
This program funds projects that improve the safety, efficiency, and reliability of intercity passenger and freight rail.
