Blocked Railroad Crossings

The Public Utility Commission has no authority over blocked highway-railroad crossings.  Within Pennsylvania the PA Motor Vehicle Code, Title 75 §3713, addresses a railroad’s operations when traversing over a highway-railroad crossing. These regulations may be enforced by state and local law enforcement entities. Currently there are no federal laws or regulations pertaining to blocked crossings.

How to Report a Blocked Public Crossing

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has an online reporting form designed to collect data on this nationwide issue. 

If you would like to directly contact the FRA regarding a blocked crossing issue please visit the FRA website for more information.
