The prefecture will establish a new system to support the conversion of "Class 1 crossings" to "Class 4 crossings" that do not have barriers or alarms from the new fiscal year. In addition to subsidies from the national and municipal governments, the system will reduce the burden on railway operators who are struggling financially and promote the conversion. Of the 74 Class 4 crossings in the prefecture, 19 have been abolished or are scheduled to be abolished, and five, including Joshin Dentetsu, are scheduled to be converted to Class 1 crossings.
