The Indiana State Legislature established the Railroad Grade Crossing Fund (RRGCF) (I.C. 8-6-7.7-6.1) to provide funding for railroad-highway crossing improvement projects throughout Indiana. The INDOT Rail Office manages the RRGCF program as a cost reimbursement grant. Local Public Agencies, such as cities, towns, and counties, are eligible to apply, as are Class II and Class III Railroads and Port Authorities.
Crossing closure applications are accepted all year. Contact railgrant@indot.in.gov for more information. Applicants will need to apply through the GRIP system via ITAP. Instructions for applying are below along with the RRGCF Guidelines.
