State grants would help cities and counties build road crossings over railways

The bill would create a state fund and direct the Department of Transportation to give grants from it to cities and counties. Grants would help cities and counties build highway overpasses and underpasses across railway tracks. The fund would contain money appropriated to it. The bill does not specify an amount to be appropriated.

Interest and other earnings would go into the fund, and its money would remain available after the fiscal year ends. These rules would apply to money in the railway tracks overpass and underpass fund.
