Description
The Railroad Grade Crossing Fund, administered by the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) Rail Office, provides cost reimbursement grants to improve safety at passive highway-rail crossings throughout Indiana. The program aims to reduce risks at highway-rail intersections by funding eligible infrastructure improvements that do not involve active warning devices. The fund also encompasses the Crossing Closure Program, which incentivizes the closure of certain at-grade crossings, but the main Railroad Grade Crossing Fund focuses on upgrades rather than closures.
