Union Pacific’s New Safety Grant Program

Union Pacific Railroad announced a grant program for community railroad safety initiatives. Grants ranging from $500 to $5,000 will be provided to support initiatives that enhance railroad safety in Union Pacific communities.

The railroad’s new grant program furthers this commitment by funding initiatives that raise awareness of railroad safety. The online grant application, available at UnionPacificCares.com, provides organizations the opportunity to explain how they plan to use grant funding, the safety initiative’s goals, who the initiative will reach and how success will be measured.

The grant program is part of the UP CARES public safety initiative that promotes pedestrian and driver safety through a variety of outreach channels.
