About this opportunity
The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is seeking grant applications for the Railroad Crossing Elimination (RCE) Program, which aims to improve safety and mobility at highway-rail and pathway-rail grade crossings. Eligible projects include grade separation, crossing closure, track relocation, safety device installation, and comprehensive planning studies. Applicants can be state governments, tribal governments, local governments, public port authorities, and metropolitan planning organizations. The FRA will evaluate proposed projects based on their ability to improve safety, eliminate grade crossings, enhance mobility, reduce emissions, improve emergency services access, provide economic benefits, and improve community connectivity. The application deadline is September 23, 2024, with applications to be submitted through standard federal grant application forms and supporting documentation.
The total funding available for this grant opportunity is up to $1,148,809,580, with a minimum 20% non-federal cost share requirement. Awards will be made through grant or cooperative agreements on a reimbursable basis, with funding disbursed as project milestones are achieved. Project durations typically range from 2-6 years, and grant values can vary from $95,000 to $45,000,000. The program has set-asides for planning projects, rural or tribal area projects, and grade crossing safety information and education programs. Successful applicants will need to complete a formal grant agreement with the FRA, which will include an approved project scope, schedule, and budget.
Synopsis
The purpose of the RCE Program is to provide funding for highway-rail and pathway-rail grade crossing improvement projects that focus on improving the safety and mobility of people and goods.
