Nebraska Rail Safety: A Nationally Significant Effort

These Nebraska initiatives are part of the FRA’s historic $1.1B program to reduce rail-related accidents. Grade crossings are a major concern, causing over 200 fatalities annually in the U.S.

The FRA is working with local stakeholders, including BNSF and city authorities, to ensure these projects succeed. Together, they aim to save lives, reduce delays, and improve infrastructure.

Rail Safety for Nebraska’s Future

Nebraska Rail Safety improvements reflect a larger vision for modern, safer transportation systems. By addressing risks and delays, these projects promise long-term benefits for communities across the state.
