Texas Gets $755M for Rail Safety | Amarillo News

Texas just scored a record-breaking $755 million federal grant for rail safety, the largest ever awarded to any state or local entity under this program. The funds will build grade separation projects — overpasses and underpasses — to safely separate roads from train tracks, slashing accidents, easing traffic, and boosting freight and passenger mobility. Combined with $77.6 million in state funding and local contributions, these 12 projects total over $953 million in investment, turning Texas into a national model for modernizing rail infrastructure. With Lt. Governor Dan Patrick’s push and smart public-private collaboration, this is a game-changing leap toward safer, smoother travel across the state.
