Minnesota Rail Crossing Safety Action Plan
The Rail Crossing Safety Action Plan will help Minnesota increase safety where rails cross roads, sidewalks, and trails. There are more than 4,000 public rail grade crossings in Minnesota. In the past five years, there have been 163 incidents at rail grade crossings resulting in 15 fatalities and 53 injuries. The Rail Crossing Safety Action Plan will use input gathered from stakeholders to:
- Identify rail grade crossing safety issues.
- Evaluate effectiveness of current prioritization processes.
- Evaluate and recommend crossing improvement strategies.
