DeWine announces $100 Million to help eliminate dangerous railroad crossings
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine on Monday announced the availability of $100 million in funding to help local communities eliminate dangerous railroad crossings.
Ohio has approximately 5,700 railroad-grade crossings, where roadways intersect with railroad tracks. Funding from Governor DeWine’s new Ohio Rail Crossing Elimination Program will support the work of local communities to engineer construction projects to eliminate these crossings and pay matching funds that are required for additional support from the Federal Railroad Administration.
“To compete for federal grants, communities need the resources to develop the projects, prepare federal applications, and commit matching funds to make Ohio’s grant applications competitive,” DeWine said. “Railroad grade projects can be complex and expensive, and without state assistance, most communities do not have the resources to develop them. This program will support these projects moving in the right direction.”
