Registration is open for the 2026 National Highway-Rail Grade Crossing Safety Conference from April 6-9, 2026, in Atlanta, Georgia. The FRA-hosted conference offers a robust workshop agenda to foster interactive discussions, share real-life experiences, and address challenges and lessons learned. FTA encourages transit stakeholders to attend; two transit-focused sessions include:

This session focuses on the latest pedestrian safety accident trends at crossings, and the countermeasures agencies are using to mitigate risk.
This annual conference brings together transportation professionals to share knowledge, exchange best practices, and promote engineering and design standards that improve highway-rail grade crossing safety. Attendees include representatives from state transportation agencies, federal organizations, passenger rail and freight railroads, and transportation safety associations.
