implementation or already implemented- These projects account for $1.5 million of the $3.2 million total. Since the projects were selected, an additional $1.5 million has been committed, leaving only about $0.2 million to secure. The sources of funding commitments to date include local 'governments, the states (using principally federal-aid highway funds), and Burlington Northern, Inc. Although securing demonstration project funding in a short period of time has been possible, implementing a more systematic and extensive program to resolve rail/community conflicts would be extremely difficult if not impossible, given extstlng program funding levels. Indeed~ the struggle to obtain funding was a major motivating force for this study. The study was undertaken to reveal the need to address these problems and, thus, to stimulate increased funding for fulfilling the need. p_roject Plannin~ and Implementatio~n Detailed project planning, plan approval, and project implementa- tion will be accomplished through traditional channels. Exhibit 9 presents the recommended arrangements for implementing projects. ~roject Monitorin~ and EvaluatiO~ The consultant will have the primary responsibility for monitoring and evaluating the demonstration projectS. The evaluation will focus on determining the effectiveness of each project in reducing the , magnitude of the priority problems it was designed to address. It also will focus on the applicability of the actions to other corridor communi- ties. 31
