Programs
• Railroad crossing barricade test project (Denton Road/Wayne County) | • Michigan Rail Loan Assistance Program (MiRLAP)
The Michigan Rail Loan Assistance Program (MiRLAP) is designed to help preserve and improve rail freight infrastructure by loaning funds to eligible applicants.
| • Local Grade Crossing Program
The Local Grade Crossing Program provides local governmental units and railroad companies with assistance for developing and implementing projects to enhance motorist safety at public highway-railroad grade crossings. Locations are selected using a statewide prioritization system which identifies crossings where safety enhancements will have the greatest benefit to the motoring public.
| • Freight Economic Development Program
The Freight Services and Safety Division of the Michigan Department of Transportation offers financial assistance to transportation companies, private companies or local units of government in the development and/or expansion of business and industries.
| • Rail Divestiture
Under legislation enacted in July 1998, MDOT was required to divest four defined rail segments. The objective is to return commercially viable rail operations to the private sector thus minimizing State involvement where it is not necessary to the State's transportation goals.
| • Operation Lifesaver
Michigan Operation Lifesaver is part of a national, nonprofit continuing education program dedicated to ending tragic collisions, fatalities and injuries at highway-rail grade crossings and on railroad rights of way.
