Allocates $3 billion over five years for Railroad Crossing Grants to enhance safety at railroad crossings. The funds are intended to eliminate hazards at public and private railroad-highway crossings, particularly those that are not equipped with active warning systems. The program supports the installation of protective devices, the construction of grade separation replacements for crossings, and the closure of crossings. The federal share of the total cost of a project for which a grant is awarded under this program cannot exceed 90%.
