This program provides funding to local governments for implementing cost-effective safety improvements on roads to help reduce serious accidents and fatalities.
Description
The Highway Safety Improvement Program - Local (HSIP-Local) provides Federal-aid Swap (State) funds to counties and cities for low-cost to medium-cost systemic safety improvements. The program aims to reduce fatalities and serious injury crashes by installing low-cost countermeasures along entire corridors or at multiple intersections with similar characteristics. Common projects include sign and post reflectivity, upgraded pavement markings, rumble strips, paved shoulders, guardrails, roadway reconfiguration projects, and pedestrian-crossing improvements. The program allocates $5 million per year from FY2023 to FY2027.
