This grant is for the purpose of soliciting applications from State and local governments to fund eligible rail line relocation and improvement projects. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is offering these capital grants to help mitigate the adverse effects created by the presence of rail infrastructure, such as safety hazards, community severance, or economic disruptions. The program, initially authorized by the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Act (SAFETEA-LU), aims to support initiatives that modernize and optimize rail infrastructure. While SAFETEA-LU expired, the program continues to be authorized through successive legislative extensions, demonstrating an ongoing commitment to enhancing public safety, improving community well-being, and fostering more efficient transportation systems.

| Description: | The purpose of this notice is to solicit applications for eligible rail line relocation and improvement projects. To assist State and local governments in mitigating the adverse effects created by the presence of rail infrastructure, Congress, in the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) (Pub. L. 109-59, August 10, 2005, codified at 49 U.S.C. 20154) authorized the Program for Capital Grants for Rail Line Relocation and Improvement Projects (Program). SAFETEA-LU also directed FRA to promulgate a regulation to establish the Program. That final rule was published on July 11, 2008 and can be found at 73 FR 39875 (49 CFR part 262). SAFETEA-LU expired at the end of FY 2009 and has since been authorized by a series of short-term extensions. The most recent extension was the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2011 (Pub. L. 112-5, 125 Stat. 14, March 4, 2011). |
