  4. ARRC Permit Process • Starts with an application • ARRC Real Estate routes for approvals, especially ROW and Engineering • ARRC has a limited engineering staff, currently 5 PEs • ROW issues are reviewed by the ARRC ROW committee • Permits are issued for projects • Most projects also require a Temporary Construction Permit to address construction issues • Upgrades and changes to existing facilities require additional ARRC review and approval

  5. TrespassDOT is a problem and solution • 3 trespass fatalities 2001-2010 • DOT facilities enable trespass • This is an area for creative solutions

  6. Crossings • Always a problem • Grade separations are appreciated • ARRC expertise is limited to rail operations • Signal systems involve several parts of the railroad
