52 Pa. Code § 33.22 - State aid for protective devices
In order to assist in establishing uniformity of protection at public highway crossings, at grade, presently unprotected and to provide improvements over devices now in use at other such crossings, the Department has agreed that it will participate in the cost of installing protection at grade crossing over its routes in accordance with the following conditions:
(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.
