Grade Crossing Scorecard

Tutorial

Generating Your Grade Crossing Scorecard

Solving a problem usually begins with defining it.

The information in your scorecard is sourced from public datasets including the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) grade crossing inventory.

Once your scorecard is available, you can:

  • view an interactive map of your region
  • filter your grade crossing information by county and city
  • review the metrics to better analyze and understand the data for your region
  • download a pdf to your computer to share with others

TRAINFO is proud to part with the FRA to improve grade crossing safety. To learn more about your grade crossings and solutions available for your department of transportation and 911 agency, you can email us or request a consultation.
