Community Notices

Railroads must notify in writing the commission and local governments at least 10 days before doing planned work that could have a significant impact on a community.

This can include closing or blocking a crossing for inspection, rebuilding, or repairs.

For more details, see WAC 480-62-305 - Railroad Community Notice Requirements.
