Users can: locate crossings by USDOT Crossing ID, address or by exploring the map; access inventory records submitted by states and railroads; and view accident history. Users can also select from multiple base maps and identify railroad crossings by their characteristics. This app empowers the public (including transportation, emergency response, and community and safety organizations) to join the FRA's efforts to further improve grade crossing safety and awareness. Please Note: States and Railroads are responsible for the accuracy of the grade crossing physical and operating characteristics within the USDOT inventory records, which are the basis for the information provided in the Rail Crossing Locator app. While the FRA does everything possible to ensure the accuracy of information provided in this app, it is ultimately the crossing owner’s responsibility to provide accurate information to the FRA.
