The last report to Congress on rail-highway crossing safety was in 1971-72. Since then, several actions and changes have occurred. These are discussed in the Executive Summary which is included in this report. This discussion is followed by 8 chapters. The final chapter summarizes the findings of this study on each of nine identified issues, as well as other issues identified during the course of the study.

"Railroad grade crossings are potential conflict points and pose a risk for all travelers. The degree of the risk depends on many factors such as volume train, volume of vehicles, speed of trains and vehicles, geometry of the crossing, etc. To assess the safety and risk of RR crossings, one may utilize aggregated data for the entire state or the country. Even though analysis of the aggregated data may be useful in establishing correlation among important variables, it might not be very useful for assessing the safety and risk for a given RR crossing. It is proposed to conduct a micro-level analysis to determine the risk of crashes at a given location (or a set of similar locations). The crash risk at a given crossing may depend on past crash history at that location, as well as the relation amount different elements that affect traffic safety at RR crossings. At the micro-level analysis one considers the uniqueness of each crossing and develops a risk factor for such crossings. Then, the safety and risk at system level is determined based on these individual safety and risk assessments. Phase one of this study is near completion and phase two will focus on safety and risk of accident at railroad crossing."--

The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) plays a key role in addressing highway-rail grade crossing safety issues by allocating federal funding through the Railway-Highway Crossing (Section 1030) Program. This Program requires each state to select eligible projects through a data-driven project selection and prioritization process. NDOT currently relies on the use of a modified version of the New Hampshire Hazard Index formula for this project prioritization. However, NDOT feels that the results of this formula have not accurately reflected actual safety needs of many crossings throughout the state. This report summarizes current grade crossing safety trends in Nevada and at the national level, reviews the strengths and weaknesses of NDOT's current grade crossing safety prioritization procedures, and evaluates potential alternative hazard index models used by other agencies. This report also includes summaries of peer interviews with the Arizona, Oregon, and Utah Departments of Transportation and also includes a summary of feedback received from an Expert Panel consisting of representatives from NDOT, the Federal Railroad Administration, Federal Highway Administration, Union Pacific Railroad, and others. Finally, the report proposes a revised Hazard Index Model for consideration as a replacement for NDOT's current model.
