Section 190 Grade Separation Program Fiscal Years 2008-2009 & 2009-2010The Section 190 Grade Separation Fund Program provides funds to public agencies to grade-separate existing at-grade crossings, eliminate existing at-grade crossings, or improve existing grade-separated crossings. The current priority list for fiscal year 2007-2008 was adopted in the Commission's final Decision 07-06-030, dated June 21, 2007. On July 12, 2007, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Investigation (OII) for establishing the highway-rail Grade Separation Priority List (Priority List) for fiscal year 2008-2009 (and possibly 2009-2010, depending on legislative action which may occur). The California Transportation Commission and the California Department of Transportation use the Priority List to allocate funds made available to the program to assist local governments in financing grade separations and crossing elimination projects. The list, which is usually created every two years, establishes the relative priorities for funding qualified projects to eliminate or grade separate railroad crossings.
If you wish to nominate a grade separation project for inclusion on the Priority List, you must complete and file a nomination application and participate in the Commission’s OII. The OII and appendices include an explanation and filing requirements for participating in the program, including a nomination form and instructions, and listing the criteria and formulas used to rank all nominations.
All applications are due Friday, October 19, 2007. If you are interested, download the OII and appendices from our website at: http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/proceedings/I0707006.htm.
