FY24 CRISI-CDS - San Diego At-grade Crossing Elimination Study (SD ACES)

This CRISI Congressionally Directed Spending funding opportunity will provide funding for the early action safety work that is related to and part of the larger San Diego At-grade Crossing Elimination Study (SD ACES). The SD ACES work will analyze potential grade separations and alternative alignments at eleven at-grade rail crossings within a major transportation corridor in and near downtown San Diego. The existing at-grade crossings in the SD ACES corridor are insufficient for a busy, urban environment, leading to numerous preventable fatalities and injuries, including at Washington Street, which is ranked 1st out of 274 crossings in San Diego County for predicted yearly collisions. San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) will hire a contractor to conduct a planning study to identify early action safety work.
