PROTECTION OF CROSSINGS AT GRADE
Section 33.22 - State aid for protective devices

(1) Notice of the proposed project shall be prepared by the carrier on forms furnished by the Commission and submitted with detailed estimates of the cost of installation and plans to the Commission in sufficient time, prior to the proposed installation, to permit investigation by the Commission's staff of conditions at the crossing and the sufficiency of the warning devices proposed to be installed. The forms will then be endorsed as to acceptability by the Director of the Bureau and transmitted to the Department for its approval of financial participation in the project.

(2) The proposed protection shall conform generally with the recommended standards of the joint committee on grade crossing protection of the Association of American Railroads, subject to such modifications as may be directed by this Commission. The carriers affected shall install and maintain the protective devices.

(3) Upon the completion of the installation, a statement of the actual cost shall be prepared by the carrier and forwarded to the Commission for review and transmittal to the Department which, upon its approval, will pay one-half the actual cost of the installation or such other proportion as may have been agreed to by the Department. If advance warning signs or other similar facilities are installed along the highways leading to the crossing, the cost of such facilities and work and expense of their installation and maintenance shall be borne and performed in such manner as agreed upon by the parties or as directed by the Commission.
