  • BNSF Public Projects - Grants Letter of Support Request Form


  • Thank you for your interest in seeking a Letter of Support from BNSF Railway to accompany your agency’s application for grant funding to plan, design, or construct a public project of importance to your community.

    Recent federal funding represents an influx of funding opportunities for transportation infrastructure projects across the U.S. New federal funding provides unprecedented opportunities for BNSF to partner with agencies and communities that are advancing public projects to improve safety and infrastructure at points that intersect and interface with the BNSF network.

    BNSF’s vision and values embrace supporting and collaborating with the communities where we live, work, and operate to foster safer and more accessible environments. We recognize the value in supporting transformative projects through public-private partnerships that create lasting transportation and community benefits.
    We appreciate the opportunity to understand more about your project and look forward to learning more about how we can work together to maximize available funding opportunities. Please complete this form to provide key information and/or documents for our team to review. You will have the opportunity to submit additional files upon completing and submitting your form.

    Note: The purpose of this form is to provide BNSF with general information about a public agency project and to support coordination between public agencies and BNSF, and not for any other purpose. Specific projects are subject to analysis and additional information may be required by BNSF. Nothing identified in this form can be taken as BNSF authority to construct a project or as a position of support.
