  • Highway-rail grade crossing improvement projects;
  • Any project necessary to enhance multimodal connections or facilitate service integration between rail service and other modes;
  • Deployment of railroad safety technology;

The CRISI program requires a 20% local match and projects will be evaluated based on project readiness and technical merit.  Previous successful awards in Idaho have been projects that have eliminated private rail crossings, crossing/signal upgrades and rail realignment reducing highway closures.
