FRA seeks applicants for state rail safety grants
The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is soliciting applications for $500,000 in state grants under the Railroad Safety State Participation Pilot Grant Program.
The grants may be used to fund approved technical training; travel expenses to attend FRA technical training, safety conferences, and meetings; and laptop computers required to support inspector reporting and data analysis.
In addition, grant funding is available for costs related to FY 2018 grant management administration.
"FRA first initiated this grant program in 2017 and looks forward to once again awarding crucial funding to promote rail safety and maintain federal industry standards," said Federal Railroad Administrator Ronald Batory in a press release.
The funds are made available under the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2018.
Applications for funding are due July 27. For more information, click here.
