Right of Way Management

DART engineers developed "engineering checklists" to assist you in the design of your project, whether it be crossing under or over freight tracks or light rail tracks. The checklists refer to DART's Design Criteria Manual and/or to American Railway Engineering and Maintenance of Way (AREMA) Manual.
