There are different ways that a community can institute a quiet zone, based on the <br />risk index approach. <br />• Install supplemental safety measures at each crossing <br />• If the RIWH is less than the NSRT <br />• If the QZRI is less than the RIWH <br />8.0 POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES <br />A Quiet Zone is not considered to be a safety improvement, but is characterizedas a <br />quality of life improvement. Therefore, funding sources specifically for the creation of <br />a Quiet Zone do not exist. The focus for funding should instead be on programs that <br />support the improvement of the infrastructure, either the road, the tracks, or both. <br />When considering the improvement of at -grade crossings, there are some potential <br />funding sources available. <br />8.1 Federal Funding Programs <br />Most federal funding programs are targeted for safety programs administered <br />through MnDOT. <br />8.2 State Funding Programs <br />MnDOT works in cooperation with counties, cities, townships, and railroads to <br />improve the railroad -highway transportation infrastructure in order to support <br />economic growth and connect Minnesota to global opportunities under the <br />Railroad -Highway Grade Crossing Safety Improvement Program. The following <br />types of projects are eligible for funding under this program: <br />- Various types of signals and signal upgrades. <br />- Crossing closures and consolidations. <br />- Improving sight conditions by removal of visual obstructions. <br />- Improving roadway geometrics and/or grades. <br />The three criteria used to judge worthy projects are high hazard locations (high <br />speed, high vehicle volumes and speeds, crash history, etc.), local concerns <br />(geometric characteristics thatplace additional demand on driver decision <br />making), and signal age (antiquated equipment). South Owasso Boulevard and <br />Dale Street would be good candidates for these programs. <br />
