• Abstract:
  The United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) has put renewed emphasis on closure of rail-highway grade crossings. In 1991, the Administrator of the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) established a goal of closing 25% or all grade crossings in the USA. This is an ideal time for a study in Kansas to make recommendations for a state program that will take full advantage of the existing momentum for closure and be in a position to make use of the federal and railroad funds that may be available as an incentive to closure. Kansas State University (KSA) received a grant for such a study. This report documents the results.
