The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Railroad Administration has awarded more than $79.2 million in Railroad Crossing Elimination Grant Program funding to six rail projects in Texas.
This funding is part of a $1.1 billion total investment to improve and study more than 1,000 highway rail crossings nationwide, and it is the largest single investment in grade-crossing safety in FRA’s history. Combined with previous rail investments announced under the Biden-Harris Administration, FRA has now invested a historic $48.5 billion in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding in more than 445 rail projects across the country and Amtrak.
The six Texas projects will be in the cities of Clifton, Copperas Cove, Longview and McKinney and in Harris County and another project in the cities of Farwell, Texas, and Texico, N.M.
