About this opportunity

The Federal Railroad Administration is providing a grant to Operation Lifesaver Inc. for railroad rights-of-way and highway-railroad grade crossing safety information and education programming, with applications due August 31, 2026.

This is a single-award opportunity designated specifically for Operation Lifesaver Inc. using FY2026 Railroad Safety funds (Assistance Listing 20.329). The program aims to improve railroad safety and reduce railroad-related casualties and accidents through information and education initiatives.

Preapplication coordination is required. Applicants must consult their state's designated single point of contact if the state has selected this program for Executive Order 12372 review. Environmental impact information is not required.

Assistance is obligated and disbursed through cooperative agreements or grants, with reimbursement occurring as project milestones are achieved rather than as lump-sum disbursement. A formal grant agreement or cooperative agreement signed by both the grantee and FRA, including an approved scope, schedule, and budget, must be in place before the award is considered complete; notification of a successful application does not authorize commencement of project activities.

Applicants must retain all data, documents, reports, records, contracts, and supporting materials relating to performance for three years following grant closeout, subject to 2 C.F.R. Part 200 audit requirements. Renewals and extensions are approved as necessary with no restriction on the period of time assistance is normally available.

Synopsis

Provide program funding for Operation Lifesaver Inc using funds designed and provided under the approved budget for the Federal Railroad Administration Office of Safety for fiscal year 2026
