Opportunity Information: Apply for FR RCE 22 001
The FY22 Railroad Crossing Elimination (RCE) Grant Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation through the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). It is designed to fund projects that improve safety and mobility at places where roads or pathways intersect with railroad tracks at the same level, commonly called grade crossings. In practical terms, the program supports upgrades and changes meant to reduce crashes and conflicts between trains and the traveling public, while also helping traffic and freight move more smoothly through communities.
The core purpose of the RCE Program is to provide funding for highway-rail and pathway-rail grade crossing improvement projects. That includes crossings used by vehicles as well as crossings used by pedestrians, cyclists, and other pathway users. The emphasis is on projects that measurably improve safety (for example, reducing the likelihood and severity of train-vehicle or train-pedestrian incidents) and that improve mobility (for example, reducing delays and congestion caused by trains, or improving access and connectivity for people and goods). The program falls under the transportation funding activity category and is offered as a grant, meaning funds are awarded competitively and are intended to support specific eligible projects rather than provide general operating support.
Eligibility for this opportunity is broad across public-sector applicants. Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The listing also notes that other types of applicants may be eligible depending on additional eligibility details in the full notice, which typically clarifies whether entities like transit agencies, rail authorities, metropolitan planning organizations, or other public and quasi-public organizations can apply directly or must apply through a governmental sponsor.
For FY22, the total maximum amount available (the award ceiling) is listed as $573,264,000, with an expectation of about 80 awards. This suggests the program was structured to fund a sizable portfolio of crossing-focused projects nationwide, potentially ranging from smaller, localized improvements at individual crossings to larger corridor or multi-crossing efforts, depending on the parameters in the full solicitation. The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number FR RCE 22 001 and is associated with CFDA/Assistance Listing number 20.327, which is the federal identifier used for tracking this assistance program.
The grant posting dates indicate it was created on July 12, 2022, with an original application closing date of October 4, 2022. As a result, FY22 refers to the fiscal year of the funding cycle rather than an open-ended program window, and applicants would have needed to prepare and submit proposals within that timeframe. Overall, the FY22 RCE Grant Program is aimed at making rail crossings safer and more efficient by investing in targeted improvements where rail lines intersect with roads and pathways, with the larger public benefit of reducing risk while keeping people, vehicles, and freight moving.Apply for FR RCE 22 001
