STATE CROSSING SAFETY PROGRAMS & FEDERAL CROSSING SAFETY FUNDING CROSSINGS FOR THE 21 ST CENTURY SESSION AASHTO – SCORT MEETING March 14, 2011 – Washington, DC Paul C. Worley, CPM Director – Engineering & Safety NCDOT Rail Division

Section 130 Program Success Since 1974 Over 250K public and private crossings in US About $3B Obligated Historically Prevented 10,500+ Fatalities & 51,000+ Nonfatal Injuries Administered by FHWA Through States Supported by AASHTO-AAR

Section 130 Program AASHTO – Authorization Policy # VI. 7 Continue and expand funding for the Section 130 Grade Crossing Program and institute measures to expedite the process.

Section 130 Program Concerns Reauthorization – Eliminates Categories Competition with Highway Safety Needs – Based on Fatalities Alone Interest by Railroads to Use for Maintenance Timely Obligation of Funds

Section 130 Program Timely Obligation of Funds How Does S-130 Compare with Other Federal-Aid Safety Programs? State & Railroad Agreement; Design & Construction (12-18 Months) Process Spans Fiscal Year. Priority Lists or Corridor Plans Must Be Developed Based on Available Funding.

Section 130 Program Timely Obligation of Funds Depends State & Railroad Ability to Complete PE and Construction Acceptance by Local Road Authorities NEPA Clearances – Historic Issues Sometimes Railroad Final Billing is Slow to Close Due to Audit, etc.

State Crossing Safety Programs Not Always Found in DOT Rail Offices or Divisions Rather Found In:  Public Utility Commissions  Highway Divisions – Traffic Engineering/Safety

Opportunities for Coordination DOT Rail Improvement Programs  Freight & Passenger Crossing Safety Efforts  Signals  Inventory  Closures

Opportunities for Coordination Finding DOT Rail/Highway Win-Win’s Highway Preconstruction Scoping Transportation Planning Long-Range Rail Planning Rail Revitalization HSR & Passenger Improvements

Crossing Safety Projects – A Portal Into the Rail Project Process Master Preliminary Engineering Agreements Master Construction Agreements  Can be built upon and/or used to implement rail improvement projects

Importance of Federal Crossing Safety Funds to OLI OLI Set Aside from S-130  Grants to State Programs  National Programs/Strategies Saving Lives & Preventing Injuries 3 E’s  Education, Enforcement, Engineering

States Participating In: Regional Crossing Workshops NCUTCD Technical Committee AREMA Committee 36 – Signals Crossing Policy Development Opportunities

TRB Launches NCHRP Different Approach to Program Benefits Provides $350,000 in Funding 18-Month Study Comprehensive Costs of Highway/Rail At-Grade Crossing Crashes

NCHRP Study Objectives/Tasks  Review literature & survey practices.  Identify categories of collision costs.  Develop cost-forecasting model.  After webinar workshop, refine models.  Prepare final report & disseminate. Comprehensive Costs of Highway/Rail At-Grade Crossing Crashes

Documents Moving Through TRB Office of Contracts & Grants Kick-Off Teleconference with Panel in Early April Complete October 2012 Status of NCHRP 08-85

Know your crossing safety counterparts and collaborate. Look for synergies between rail planning, passenger, and rail safety programs. Funding and projects are often the foundation of railroad relationships. To Conclude
