The Highway Safety Acts of 1973 and 1976, and the Surface Transportation Assistance Acts of 1978 and 1982 provide funding authorizations to individual states to improve safety at public rail-highway crossings. The installation of active motorist warning devices, such as flashing lights or flashing lights with gates, is an important part of crossing safety improvements. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) assists states and railroads in determining effective allocations of Federal funds for rail-highway crossing safety improvements. This report is a revision of a previous report which describes the resource allocation procedure developed to assist in the allocation of funds among crossings to achieve maximum crossing safety benefits for a given level of funding.
