GRADE CROSSING PROVISION

The following grade crossing provision in the military construction bill was signed into law on July 13, 2000 by President Clinton becoming part of Public Law 106-246:

SEC.2604. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, hereafter, funds apportioned under section 104(b)(3) of title 23 which are applied to projects involving the elimination of hazards of railway-highway crossings, including the separation or protection of grades at crossings, the reconstruction of exist ing railroad grade crossing structures, and the relocation of highways to eliminate grade crossings, may have a Federal share up to 100% of the cost of construction.

While we are not sure how this bill affects current funding in Ohio and across the country, we urge you to contact the FRA in Washington and request further information by calling 1-202-493-6364(Mr. John Cikota, Sr. Transportation Executive) or email at JOHN.CIKOTA@FRA.DOT.GOV
