General
State Safety Participation Program
The State Safety Participation Program is a partnership between FRA and multiple states that employ safety inspectors in six railroad safety inspection disciplines. State programs emphasize planned, routine compliance inspections in coordination with FRA inspections. States may undertake additional investigative and surveillance activities consistent with overall program needs and individual state capabilities.
Kennedy Avenue Railroad Overpass Project
The Kennedy Avenue Railroad Overpass Project (Project) would close an existing at-grade railroad crossing and replace it with an overpass (bridge) in the town of Schererville, Indiana. The proposed bridge on Kennedy Avenue would cross four tracks associated with the Wisconsin Central Limited/Canadian National and Norfolk Southern Railroads.
Railroad Suicide Prevention
Hundreds of people lose their lives every year on railroad tracks due to suicide. FRA recognizes that suicide is preventable and FRA has vital contributions to make to help prevent suicide.
