Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle 10

• Project StatusConstruction

About the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)

• The purpose of the HSIP is to achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads.
• Up to $10M in funds awarded per agency, with additional amounts granted via funding set-asides (guardrail upgrades, pedestrian crossing enhancements, edgeline installation).
• HSIP awards are based on benefit-cost ratio (BCR) scores, which are determined by identifying specific safety problems along with their proposed countermeasures.
