Description
The Highway/Railroad Crossing Program Safety Funds, administered by the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT), is a federal-aid initiative aimed at improving safety at public highway and railroad grade crossings throughout Kansas. The program provides funding for the installation of protective devices (such as warning signals and gates) and for projects that eliminate safety hazards at these intersections. Projects are prioritized using a hazard index that considers both highway and train traffic volumes, as well as the presence and type of existing warning devices. The goal is to reduce crashes and enhance public safety at critical transportation crossings across the state.
