U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy has announced that following the Trump Administration’s expedited deployment of a $25 million investment, trespassing incidents and train-vehicle collisions on Brightline Florida are down 30% year-over-year in Q1 2026.  The funds went towards modernizing infrastructure at railroad crossings to make communities safer for American families.

Improvements include:

• Upgrading 327 highway-rail grade crossings along 195 miles of the Brightline/Florida East Coast Railway corridor from Miami to Cocoa,
• Installing 33 miles of fencing, rail dynamic envelopes (RDE), roadway striping, delineators, crisis support indicators, and
• Deploying “Do Not Stop on Tracks” signage.
