Provides that neither the railroad nor the public authority involved may be assessed more than 5% of any other costs associated with the crossing closure, unless the rail carrier or the public authority, as applicable, agrees in writing to pay a higher percentage of those costs. Provides that if the Commission orders the alteration, reconstruction, or relocation of a crossing across a highway, pedestrian bridge, or pedestrian subway, the costs shall be borne according to the benefits derived.
