The Fiscal Year 2008-2009 Priority List

The statutory procedure for creating the fiscal year 2008-2009 List was properly followed, and all corrections to the draft were properly made. We will adopt the final List without change for purposes of allocating funds in the Grade Separation Fund.³

³ We also note that additional funds are currently available as a result of the recent passage of Proposition 1B. That measure makes funding of $150 million available to improve highway-rail crossings and construct grade crossings. These funds are to be allocated in accordance with the List established in this proceeding. See Highway-Railroad Crossing Safety Account guidelines at http://www.catc.ca.gov/programs/HRCSA/HRCSA_guidelines_040908.pdf.

The application form is available at http://www.catc.ca.gov/programs/HRCSA/ppr_newprojects101007.xls.
