The Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2006, approved by the voters as Proposition 1B on November 7, 2006, authorized $250 million in general obligation bond proceeds for the Highway-Railroad Crossing Safety Account (HRCSA) program for the completion of high-priority grade separation and railroad crossing safety improvements. HRCSA funds are allocated by the California Transportation Commission (CTC), upon appropriation by the Legislature, pursuant to the process established in Chapter 10 (commencing with Section 2450) of Division 3 of the Streets and Highways Code, except that a dollar for dollar match of non-State funds shall be provided for each project, and the limitation on maximum project cost in subdivision (g) of Section 2454 of the Streets and Highways Code shall not be applicable to projects funded with these funds. Notwithstanding the funding allocations described herewith, in consultation with Caltrans and the Public Utilities Commission (PUC), the CTC shall allocate $100 million of the funds in this account to high priority railroad crossing improvements, including grade separation projects, that are not part of the process established in Chapter 10 (commencing with Section 2450) of Division 3 of the Streets and Highways Code. This allocation of funds shall be made in consultation with the High-Speed Rail Authority.
