Grant 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).
