U.S. DOT Crossing Inventory Form

The grade crossing inventory, used by States and railroads, reports changes to or closings of grade crossings to update or add to the existing National Inventory File. Previously, railroads and States submitted this information voluntarily. The final rule -- and associated information collection -- requires railroads that operate one or more trains through highway-rail or pathway crossings to submit information to the U.S. DOT National Highway-Rail Crossing Inventory about the crossings through which they operate. These amendments, mandated by section 204 of the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008, require railroads to submit information about previously unreported and new highway-rail and pathway crossings to the U.S. DOT National Highway-Rail Crossing Inventory and to periodically update existing crossing data.
