Freight & Heavy Rail Safety

The Public Utilities Commission has primary jurisdiction over all public highway-rail crossings, including opening, closing, upgrading, signalizing, construction of overpasses or underpasses, and the allocation of costs.

The Office of Rail Safety was established in 2024 to ensure freight, passenger, community and environmental rail safety in the state for the state’s unique and delicate terrain, its headwaters, its communities, and its rail workers.
