FY 2014 - 2017 PLAN
Projects programmed for submittal to the ICC in FY 2014-2017 are listed in Appendix 2. For those four years, it is anticipated the ICC will consider projects requiring commitments from the GCPF totaling over $163 million, affecting approximately 1,200 crossings in over 57 counties. In addition, $20 million from the GCPF will be set aside for special projects1 during FY 2013-2016. These projects are summarized in Table D.
[1Note: to be used for emergency projects, which may require rapid resolution; experimental crossing safety projects; low-cost safety improvements at multiple crossings; and, incentive payments to local agencies for the voluntary closure of public highway-rail grade crossings.]

NOTE: At the time the FY 2014-2017 portion of the Plan was prepared, assistance from the GCPF was available for each project noted in Appendix 2. However, GCPF contributions may cease for certain projects should the General Assembly fail to appropriate, or otherwise not make available, sufficient funds.
ACTIVE PROJECTS
The ICC has previously issued Orders that authorize over 145 safety improvement projects, involving almost 500 crossing locations in over 52 counties throughout the state. These projects are summarized in Table E below. Appendix 3 lists each individual project with specific location and cost information.
