We have curated a comprehensive list of grants and funding opportunities to support our Georgia Energy Cities. Our goal is to help our communities to secure essential resources, advance existing industries, and attract new businesses. In this month’s update, we feature funding options tailored to meet specific community needs from the U.S. Department of Transportation.

U.S. Department of Transportation – Federal Railroad Administration

Railroad Crossing Elimination Program
Type: Grant
Deadline: 9/23/2024

The RCE Program provides a federal funding opportunity to fund highway-rail or pathway-rail grade crossing improvement projects that focus on improving the safety and mobility of people and goods. Such projects will improve American rail infrastructure to enhance rail safety, improve the health and safety of communities, eliminate highway-rail and pathway-rail grade crossings that are frequently blocked by trains, and reduce the impacts that freight movement and railroad operations may have on underserved communities.
