2021 Highway-Railroad Crossing Surface Repair Program Project Evaluation Criteria • Projects are funded in the order the applications are received, except that up to 50% of the program allocation can be used in a discretionary manner. • All 49 crossings currently in the program queue were scored according to the following criteria: – Type of route the crossing is on, (crude oil, ethanol, passenger) – Average daily vehicle traffic – Exposure index, (number of trains x number of cars) – Predicted Accidents, (train speed, roadway speed, number of traffic lanes, number of tracks) – Planned concurrent roadway projects – On-site inspection • Final Projects – The five highest scored crossings were brought forward to be funded in addition to those already scheduled to be funded for FY 2021 for a total of 12 projects. – Associated railroads and highway authorities were contacted and confirmed they were able to participate with funding and repairs. 3
